Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup coarsely ground coffee
- 4 cups cold water
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 0.5 cup milk or cream (optional)
- 2 teaspoons sugar or sweetener (optional)
Instructions
In a large jar or French press, combine 1 cup of coarsely ground coffee with 4 cups of cold water.
Stir the mixture gently to ensure all the coffee grounds are saturated.
Cover the container and let it steep at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 12 hours (or overnight).
Once steeping is complete, strain the coffee through a fine-mesh sieve lined with a coffee filter or cheesecloth to remove all coffee grounds.
Fill a glass with ice cubes (about 1/2 cup per serving).
Pour the cold-brewed coffee concentrate over the ice until the glass is about 3/4 full.
Optional: Add milk or cream, and sweeten with sugar or your preferred sweetener to taste. Stir well.
Serve immediately and enjoy your perfect iced coffee!
