plz!
Damn, I guess I get to retype it...
Ok, get a 1 gallon glass carboy (yes glass, no not plastic or anything else)
Make sure you have some cheesecloth and a clean, food grade funnel and another glass container(s) that will hold basically a gallon of liquid
Get a 12oz bag of light roast coffee beans. Place them in a food processor or large coffee grinder and pulse until just coarsely cracked
Place said cracked coffee beans into aforementioned carboy. Fill to the top with cold spring water (this won't take quite a whole gallon. (Elementary school science will tell you why)
Cover the top with plastic wrap, shake it around a bit, then place into the fridge. Shake or stir at least once a day, every day for 4-8 days. Caffeination level is dependent on extraction time, so more time = more caffeine. When it has extracted long enough for you, strain through a few layers of cheesecloth into mason jars or other glass receptacles. Seal up containers and keep refrigerated. Don't start out with over 3-4oz at a time until you see how much it will crack you out. This is iced coffee concentrate, tread carefully.
I like mine over ice with a splash of 2% milk and maybe a whisper of cinnamon. On the weekend, I add some rum or bourbon as well.
Don't let your coworkers know that you have it or it will be gone. The cold brewing process makes the most clear, unobscured coffee flavor I've ever had.
I have to say, I didn't know that I needed this in my life until just now. Thank you good sir.
