2 oranges
2 cups (packed) medium-ground coffee 
5 or so cardamom pods, crushed
2 quarts (plus 1 cup, to replace water lost during filtering) filtered water

Zest the oranges, making sure not to include any of the white pith (a microplane is the best way to do this).  Reserve the oranges for another use, like, you know–eating.

Combine coffee grounds, zest, cardamom and water in a large container, stir well, cover and let it rest at room temperature for 24 hours.  To filter, pour through a fine-mesh strainer a couple of times.  Line the strainer with a paper towel and filter again once or twice.  Store in the fridge.
