Ingredients
Scale
For the Cold Brew Concentrate: (this makes an 8-9-cup batch of cold brew – adjust as necessary for your needs)
- 6 oz coarsely ground coffee (grind it yourself! It tastes so much better)
- 8 cups cold water
For the Popsicles:
- 1½ cups cold brew concentrate
- ¾ cup cold water
- ¼ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup milk
Instructions
For the Cold Brew Concentrate:
- The day before you want to make popsicles, make the cold brew by placing the ground coffee in a large pitcher.
- Pour the water over the coffee and stir to combine. Cover the pitcher with a lid or plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 12 hours. I usually let mine “brew” for closer to 14 hours.
- Strain the cold brew concentrate through a fine mesh strainer lined with a paper coffee filter set over a large bowl or second pitcher. Repeat the straining process.
- Keep the concentrate chilled in the fridge. Dilute with a little water before enjoying over ice or using for popsicles. How much water you use to dilute the concentrate is up to you; if you like a stronger coffee, use less water.
For the Popsicles:
- Mix together the concentrate and the water in a large measuring cup (preferably one with a pouring spout). Pour half the mixture into another bowl.
- To the half in the bowl, mix in the condensed milk and milk. Once combined, taste this mixture to ensure it is sweet/creamy enough for your tastes. Adjust as necessary.
To Assemble:
- Pour the coffee-milk mixture into popsicle molds, filling them about halfway up. Place in the freezer for about an hour.
- Insert the popsicle sticks and then top each mold off with the coffee-only mixture.
- Freeze for at least another 2 hours.
