Description
I created this recipe myself. I wanted something that tasted like the brand-name stuff but without the steep cost! I kept the recipe simple only using coffee, milk, and sugar like the brand name does. Concentrate stays good in the refrigerator for a month.
Ingredients
- 6 cups cold water
- ½ pound dark roast ground coffee beans
- cheesecloth
- coffee filters
- 5 cups 1% milk
- ½ (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup hot tap water
Instructions
- Mix 6 cups water and coffee in a 1/2-gallon jar (such as Ball®) until grounds are completely saturated. Steep for 24 hours at room temperature
- stirring occasionally.
- Transfer the coffee to the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour.
- Place a small colander on top of a tall
- lidded plastic container. Line colander with a 6-inch square of cheesecloth; fit a coffee filter on top.
- Pour about 1 cup of the coffee into the colander until filter begins to clog. Lift the corners of the cheesecloth carefully; twist the cloth and filter to extract the liquid. Drain the remaining liquid 1 cup at a time
- using a new coffee filter each time. Repeat the process with the grounds
- filtering 1 cup at a time; squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Refrigerate the concentrate until ready to use.
- Combine concentrate
- 1% milk
- and condensed milk in a 1/2-gallon jar.
- Dissolve 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar and cocoa powder together in a bowl of hot tap water. Add to the coffee-milk mixture; cover the jar and shake well.
