Time 11m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 gallon water
1 cup coffee grounds
1 cup cold water
Dash salt, optional

Steps:

  • Fill coffee pot with water to the start of the spout. Bring water in coffee pot to a boil on high heat. Add coffee grounds and reduce heat to medium. Stir down with spoon if boil gets too high. Return to high heat and bring mixture to another boil, about 1 minute, or until froth is gone. Turn off heat and let coffee grounds settle. Pour cold water around the top of the coffee pot. If using salt, sprinkle on top, to taste. Keep coffee pot on low heat to keep warm. Do not allow to boil again.

Tips:

  • Choose coarsely ground coffee beans. Finer grinds will make your coffee bitter.
  • Use fresh, cold water. This will help extract the best flavor from your coffee.
  • Bring the water to a boil, then remove it from the heat. This will prevent the coffee from becoming bitter.
  • Add the coffee grounds to the water and stir gently. Do not boil the coffee.
  • Cover the pot and let the coffee steep for 4-5 minutes. The longer you steep the coffee, the stronger it will be.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and let it settle for a few minutes. This will allow the grounds to settle to the bottom of the pot.
  • Pour the coffee into a cup and enjoy!
