Iced Coffee

Again, this one is not going to be a recipe. This is more of the process I use.

The most important thing to remember about making a good iced coffee, is to NOT used hot brewed coffee. You can, but there is a bitter aftertaste.

To make a good one, you must cold brew your coffee.  And its not that hard.

The cheap, quick way: Throw some store bought, pre-ground coffee into a jar. You want it stronger than your regular cup. Try 1 ounce of coffee, per cup of water.  Put that in the refrigerator, over night.
You will have to strain it before drinking. A colander with a coffee filter lining it works good.

In a tall glass, add ice cubes. The amount of ice cubes should be about the same as the amount of coffee. Pour the coffee over the cubes, then add milk or whatever else you want.

I made ice coffee like that for years. I had a special pitcher just for brewing. But it was a mess when it came to the straining.  Later, I found a French press on sale at Marshals.  That does the straining for you.

Purist will say to grind your own beans. I agree. Grinding your own beans does make it taste better. But I have not been disappointed with using ground coffee off the shelf. Unless, the brand is horrible. If it makes a bad cup of hot coffee, it's going to make a bad cup of iced coffee.
