How to Make Thai Iced Coffee 12 Hour Brew Technique

  1. In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup coarsely ground dark roast coffee with 4 cups cold, filtered water. Stir well to ensure all grounds are saturated.
  2. Cover the pitcher and let it sit at room temperature for 12 hours. This allows the coffee to slowly extract, creating a smooth, less bitter brew.
  3. Line a fine-mesh strainer with a cheesecloth or coffee filter. Place the strainer over a large bowl or Dutch oven.
  4. Slowly pour the coffee mixture through the strainer, pressing gently on the grounds to extract as much coffee as possible. Discard the coffee grounds.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the strained coffee.
  6. Cover and refrigerate the coffee concentrate for up to 1 week.
  7. When ready to serve, mix 1/2 cup of the coffee concentrate with 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk (or to your desired sweetness).
  8. Pour over ice and enjoy your delicious, refreshing Thai Iced Coffee!
