How to Make Cafe Rio

  1. Combine citrus peels (from 1 orange and 1 lemon), 2 whole cloves, and 1 cup of coarsely ground coffee in a large glass container.
  2. Slowly pour 8 cups of cold, filtered water over the coffee grounds and citrus mixture, stirring gently to ensure all grounds are saturated.
  3. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the coffee to steep.
  4. Once steeped, line a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth with a coffee filter. Carefully pour the cold brew through the filter into a clean pitcher or carafe, discarding the grounds and citrus peels.
  5. Serve the cold brew over ice in tall glasses. Add milk and/or brown sugar to taste.
