Cold Brewing Coffee

A first time for me to try doing this.  I haven't taste tested the results.   Believe it or not, I have had the ground coffee for over a year (you have to get a very coarse grind to do this).  I went to my favorite  coffee place (and the only specialty coffee roaster that I have really tried in Dallas) where I usually purchase whole beans because I like to grind closer to the time of brewing.   I am not a purist so I do make mistakes and keep the ground coffee a bit longer.   Oh, i bought the Toddy on the recommendation of the guy that waited on me at the Addison Roasters.  He also recommended the Bali coffee for the cold brew.   I normally buy the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe for my everyday coffee.  :-)

Update!  My first cup wasn't too bad.  Maybe could be stronger so need to work on the right ratio of water/milk to concentrate.   The instructions mention 3 parts liquid to 1 part coffee concentrate.   One of the reasons to cold brew is that it is less acidic.   Now to try my second cup.   Maybe I will do an iced version later,
