Cold brew concentrate changed my morning routine completely

I always thought cold brew was just watered down iced coffee until a guy at a rest stop in Ohio showed me to steep a 1:4 ratio of grounds to water for 18 hours. Now I mix it with hot water for a smooth cup that doesn't burn my throat on cold mornings. Anyone else try this double duty trick with their beans?

My sister-in-law tried that hot water trick and accidentally made cold brew flavored sludge because she used a 1:2 ratio and forgot about it for two days.

Did she at least try to strain it through a cheesecloth and see if it was salvageable? Some people online say you can bake with that kind of accidental sludge or even use it as a marinade base. A 1:2 ratio with hot water is basically concentrated syrup territory, so leaving it for two days must have been some kind of science experiment. Did she end up pouring it down the drain or did she find a weird use for it?

Did she try adding milk to it and call it a dirty chai?
