- To strain the cold brew, place a thin coffee filter, cheesecloth or nut milk bag (our favorite) over a fine mesh sieve. Pour the cold brew through the sieve into a large mason jar or pitcher.

Notes
- How to serve this decaf cold brew: There are many ways to enjoy a glass of cold brew. Usually, the cold brew is diluted with water or milk or both, please see our serving suggestions above.
- Coarse ground coffee: For best results, grind your favorite decaf coffee to a medium coarse grind. This will facilitate the straining and won't result in a bitter taste.
- Grind in batches: If you have a small coffee grinder, grind the whole beans in batches to ensure an equally sized grind.
- To store: store in a mason jar or other airtight container with a lid for up to 1 week. Some sources say 2 weeks but I usually try to limit it to 1 week.
- To freeze: Pour any leftover cold brew into an ice cube tray and freeze for up to 1 month. Let defrost on the counter or in the fridge.
