Cold-brew coffee is inherently superior
and if you do not agree then I seriously question your taste. Or your possession of acid reflux? Maybe not everyone has acid reflux, I don’t know. Cold-brew coffee is definitely superior if you can’t handle the acidity of normal coffee.
This is how I make it: take
2/3 to 3/4 cup ground coffee and
4 cups cold water
and combine them in a container of some kind. Refrigerate for at least eight hours - I usually do a full day - then strain out the grounds.
The easiest method is to do the whole procedure in a French press with the plunger out, then plunge it when it’s done. But you can just drip the stuff through a normal coffee filter into a teapot or something, too.
You now have enough super-strong coffee concentrate to last one person a few days. I usually dilute mine in a ratio of 1 part coffee to 2 parts hot water or cold soymilk. It also makes ridiculously good mochas, coffee-flavored desserts, and so on.

I do 1 cup coffee to 5 cups water, and, uh, never bother straining the whole thing. I just put a paper coffee filter in a funnel and strain a portion directly into a glass over ice cubes. Add some milk or soy. The pitcher lasts a week and does not seem to change much in taste and strength over the course of that time.
