Notes

One: Make Ahead

Although you can brew coffee ahead of time and store it in the fridge, for the best make-ahead option, we suggest making cold brew coffee instead.

Two: Storage

Store leftover coffee in a covered container in the fridge for 3-4 days but the longer you store it the more bitter/acidic it will taste. If you added dairy, store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
