☕ For the Canned Coffee

- 🧂 Optional: A pinch of salt (cuts bitterness) or sugar
🫙 For the Jars
- 🫙 Quart or pint jars

💡 Pro tip: "Brew your coffee extra strong. The canning process can slightly mellow the flavor, so a robust brew ensures a great taste when opened."
📝 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare Your Equipment
- Prepare your water bath canner, jars, and lids.
- Sterilize jars and keep them hot.
Step 2 – Brew the Coffee
- Brew a large pot of strong coffee. (You'll need about 7 quarts).
- If you want to add sugar or a pinch of salt, stir it into the hot coffee until dissolved.
Step 3 – Fill the Jars
- Pour the hot coffee into the hot jars, leaving ½ inch headspace.
- Wipe rims clean with a damp cloth.
- Add lids and rings — finger-tight.
⚠️ Important: "Leave ½ inch headspace — it's essential for proper sealing."
Step 4 – Water Bath Can
- Place jars in a water bath canner, ensuring water covers jars by 1-2 inches.
- Bring to a full rolling boil.
- Process quarts for 15 minutes (adjust for altitude).
- Turn off heat, remove lid, and let jars sit in the water 5 minutes.
- Remove jars and cool on a towel for 12-24 hours.
- Check seals — the lid should be concave and not flex.
- Store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
⚠️ Important Safety Warning
Always use tested recipes and proper canning procedures. Follow USDA or local extension service guidelines for water bath canning. Adjust processing time for altitude.
