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
Directions
-
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 coffee to the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour.
-
Place a small colander on top of a tall, lidded plastic container. Line the 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.
Tips
Use your favorite brand of coffee. I don't think the coarseness of the grounds is an issue. Fine-ground coffee may offer more flavor, but it will be harder to filter.
I started this recipe using whole milk. That combined with the condensed milk was kind of like a lactose bomb and was tough on the tummy, so I use 1% now. Feel free to use any grade of low-fat milk you prefer.
