The Toddy method – Equal Exchange, West Bridgewater, MA
[With the toddy method you are making a super smooth, filtered concentrate that you can store for up to two weeks in the fridge! Blend it, shake it or pour it over ice. The easiest, most convenient method requires a small investment - the purchase of the toddy maker, cost $35. More information is available at: http://www.toddycafe.com/shop/product.php?productId=67. Alternatively, you can rig up your own system with pots or kettles and strain the concentrate through cheese-cloth.]
Make a very strong mix of ground coffee and cold water (we suggest you start with ¾ of cup of ground coffee for every 1 cup of water, but feel free to adjust to taste), and let it set for 12 hours. Pour the mix through the toddy filter. The result is a concentrate of “cold-brewed.” And it’s versatile, too. You can mix it to taste with either hot or cold water, as suits your mood. Note: according to the manufacturer, cold brewed coffee contains 67% less acid, so this might be popular with folks with sensitive stomachs.

Helpful Hint! Coffee Iced Cubes
Brew regular fresh coffee, let it cool and pour into ice cube trays. Let freeze. Make coffee just the way you like it, chill it then pour it over the cubes. This keeps the coffee strong even as the ice melts.
