Ingredients

Cold Brew Coffee

1 cup whole coffee beans
4 cups water

Citrus Iced Coffee

1 cup cold brew coffee
1/2 cup Limoneira® orange juice freshly squeezed
1/4 cup Limoneira® lemon juice freshly squeezed
1/4 cup maple syrup

Instructions

Cold Brew Coffee

Grind the coffee to a coarse (not fine) texture. You should end up with slightly less than 1 cup of ground coffee.
Add the coffee to a large carafe or other container you can refrigerate.
Pour the water on top of the coffee, and stir only gently with a long spoon or spatula to make sure the coffee is thoroughly saturated with the water.
Cover the carafe, and refrigerate for 12 hours.
When it’s ready, strain the coffee with cheesecloth over a large bowl.
It will keep in the fridge for up to a week (you’ll have enough for about 4 recipes of coffee lemonade)

Citrus Iced Coffee

Combine all the ingredients in a jar or cocktail shaker and shake until blended.
Serve with ice.

Notes

Note: The cold brew coffee takes 12 hours to sit, so be patient for this two-day project.
