Do you want to know the secret for making delicious hot or cold coffee creations at home? Keep a supply of flavored syrups on hand and use filtered water for a better brew. Grind 3/4 cup of your favorite coffee beans using the “COARSE” option when making cold concoctions. Put the ground beans in a large jar and cover with 5 cups of filtered water. Stir the liquid, cover the jar, and place it in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, strain the coffee through two layers of cheesecloth into another jar. The cheesecloth catches the coffee grounds and keeps your beverage granule-free.
