    1. Buy a [nut milk bag](http://smile.amazon.com/Pro-Quality-Nut-Milk-Bag/dp/B00KLT6X9W/ref=pd_sim_k_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=02QW8YSXK1TEH8EMYMM5)
    2. Measure your coffee and water: four parts water to 1 part coffee. I usually use 1lb coffee to 1/2 gallon water.
    3. Grind coffee - fine grind, similar to an aeropress.
    4. Put the coffee in the bag, and the bag in a jug, and pour the water over it all (note that the bags don't close all the way, so you need to figure out how to keep the top out of the water. This is hard to explain in text but makes perfect sense once you see the thing.
    5. Steep for 12 hours, then remove the bag and let the water drain out. Press the water out gently but don't overdo it or you'll get something too bitter.
    6. Pour over ice, or dilute about 2:1 when drinking.
