Directions:

1. Add the coffee grounds to a 1-quart mason jar or french press. Then pour in the filtered water and stir. If using a French press, do not plunge it. Allow the cold brew to sit at room temperature for 12 to 15 hours, depending on how strong you like your coffee.
2. Strain the cold brew by pouring it through a coffee filter situated over a large bowl or pitcher. Or, simply press down on the French press. This is your cold brew concentrate and it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
3. To serve, add ice (optional) to a glass and fill it halfway with the cold brew concentrate. Top off the glass with filtered water, then stir in the caramel syrup, a pinch of salt, and a splash of milk.
