To serve
- Taste your cold brew to check the strength and see if it's to your liking. If you prefer very strong coffee, or want to use it with lots of cream or milk, you may find it fine as is.
- If you like a lighter brew, you will want to mix 2-4 ounces of cold water into 4-6 ounces of your cold brew before you serve it over ice.
