Best Perfect Iced Coffee Recipes

PERFECT ICED COFFEE

Steps:

• Cook's Note: Can use skim milk, 2-percent milk, whole milk, sugar, artificial sweeteners, syrups...adapt to your liking!
• In a large container, mix the ground coffee with 8 quarts water. Cover and allow to sit at room temperature for eight hours or overnight.
• Line a fine mesh strainer with cheesecloth and set over a pitcher or other container. Pour the coffee/water mixture through the strainer, allowing all the liquid to run through. Discard the grounds. Place the coffee liquid in the fridge and allow to cool. Use as needed.
• To make iced coffee, pack a glass full of ice cubes. Fill the glass two-thirds full with the coffee liquid. Add a healthy splash of half-and-half. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (can use plain sugar instead) and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the half-and-half and/or sweetened condensed milk as needed.

PERFECT EVERYDAY ICED COFFEE

Steps:

• Brew your coffee double strength by using 2 tablespoons of ground coffee with 3/4 cup water.
• Fill a tall glass with ice. A normal sized travel mug works well, but don't use anything smaller than that.
• After the coffee has brewed, pour it into a ceramic mug or other heat-safe container.
• Stir in sugar. This avoids the sugar at the bottom of the cup which usually happens at coffee shops.
• Pour over ice. You'd think it would be best to chill the coffee first, but it cools down immediately and melts down enough of the ice that it becomes normal strength.
• Add half and half, or your usual cream.
• Try this recipe a few more times; fiddle around with it. I think this should make a good base recipe for most people.
