Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Place ground coffee in 12-cup container. Slowly pour 6 cups cool water over grounds. Stir very gently just until grounds are moistened. Seal container and chill 24 hours.

  2. Strain coffee grounds through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl. Strain again through coffee filter into a large bowl or 3-cup (or larger) resealable container. (Alternately, skip the straining and use a thick filter, like for a Chemex.) To serve, pour over ice and dilute 1:1 with water or milk.

Why this Cold-Brew Coffee works for PCOS

Eating a substantial breakfast like this Cold-Brew Coffee is one of the highest-leverage moves you can make for PCOS. In the Jakubowicz et al. 2013 trial published in Clinical Science, women with PCOS who front-loaded calories to breakfast reduced fasting insulin by 56% and increased ovulation rates 50%, with no change in total calories. Front-loading works because insulin sensitivity is highest in the morning and lowest at night.
