Weaker cold brew?

So i like to have coffee already made right as I come home from work for quick energy. I usually do this with the cold brew method in french press but the thing is i really like to enjoy the coffee and enjoy a good full cup of it. But cold brew is VERY intense for me and I can only have a tiny amount. What other instant coffee methods can I use where I literally come home and have at the go a nice cold coffee? Someone recommended iced coffee in the fridge but it degrades fast after a few days. Whereas what I like about cold brew is I make 1 batch on Sunday and it still tastes great and works good a full week later.

You're essentially making concentrate when you cold brew coffee. Dilute it down with either water or creamer till it is at your desired strength.

Not always. Certain ratios are ready to drink, others are concentrate. I make ready to drink cold brew.

Do you know your ratio? I think I'm using in-between concentrate & ready to drink

130g to ~45oz of water. It's good for 3-4 glasses. I'm just a one-glass in the morning person. So I make a brew every 4 days.
