If you're using a commercial cold-brew maker like a Toddy, follow the manufacturer's instructions for mixing and filtering. Feel free to play around with how you dilute this—you might prefer a stronger or weaker coffee than the one suggested here. And coffee-heads the world over agree: cold-brew is only as good as the beans it's made with.

Step 1
Place ground coffee in 12-cup container. Slowly pour 6 cups cool water over grounds. Stir very gently just until grounds are moistened. Seal container and chill 24 hours.
Step 2
Strain coffee grounds through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl. Strain again through coffee filter into a large bowl or 3-cup (or larger) resealable container. (Alternately, skip the straining and use a thick filter, like for a Chemex.) To serve, pour over ice and dilute 1:1 with water or milk.
