Creating cold brew coffee at home is surprisingly easy, requiring no specialized equipment. This method not only offers you a base for your Fiber-Fueled Proffee but also opens up a world of opportunities to integrate just better.® Prebiotic Fiber into your daily routine.

Equipment:

A large jar or pitcher

A fine-mesh sieve or a cheesecloth

A large bowl

Instructions:

Mix Coffee and Water: Combine the ground coffee with the water in a jar or pitcher. Stir gently to moisten the coffee grounds.

Steep: Cover the jar or pitcher with a lid or plastic wrap. Let the coffee steep in the refrigerator for about 12 to 24 hours. The longer you steep, the stronger and more concentrated your cold brew will be.

Strain: After steeping, strain the coffee mixture through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth (or a coffee filter) into a large bowl. If using a sieve, you may need to strain twice to remove all the fine coffee grounds. For an even cleaner brew, you can strain it again using a coffee filter.

Serve or Store: Transfer the strained cold brew concentrate into a clean jar or bottle for storage. To serve, dilute the concentrate with water, nut milk, or protein shake to taste. 

Make it Fiber-Rich: If you’re not making Proffee, this is a great time to add a few scoops of just better.® Prebiotic Fiber! just better.® does not lose its potency when prepared ahead of time!
