Coconut water is hydrating and full of antioxidants and potassium. It’s got a light sweetness that makes it a great substitute for plain water in post-workout drinks, smoothies, and other liquid treats. We tried steeping our cold brew in coconut water...and it turned out delicious. 

Give it a try for a refreshing afternoon pick-me-up. A little goes a long way! 

What you’ll need 

• 1 cup of coarsely ground coffee per 32oz (We typically use 2 cups and make 64oz)

• Filtered water

• 2 cups of your favorite coconut water (Or 4 cups for a 64oz container)

• Coldbrew filter and jar

Instructions

• Place the coldbrew filter into your jar and add the coarse grounds.

• “Bloom” the grounds. To do this, add just enough filtered, plain water to the grounds to wet them. Then let it sit for 30 seconds. This helps ensure you won’t have dry pockets or uneven flow. 

• Slowly pour your coconut water through the grounds. When the container is about ¾ full, close off the filter and fill the jar the rest of the way with the coconut water. 

• Let steep for 6-10 hours for a 32oz container. The warmer your room, the less time it takes. You can let it steep in the fridge for a full 12 hours. Adjust according to the size of your container and the temperature of your space. 

• Pull the coldbrew filter from the container, compost the wet grounds, rinse your filter with plain water and hang to dry. 

• Drink your coldbrew as is, or cut with plain water or more coconut water to get the brew strength to your liking.
