Iced Coffee
Whether you want to make it special or just have some leftover coffee from breakfast, iced coffee can be a refreshing afternoon treat. Especially good on those really hot days when hot coffee just doesn't cut it.
1
Step One
Brew a pot of fresh coffee using 2 tablespoons of dark-roasted ground coffee per cup.
2
Step Two
Transfer the hot coffee to a carafe or pitcher.
3
Step Three
Let the coffee stand at room temperature for 3 to 5 hours, or refrigerate it until cold, about 1 1/2 to 3 hours.
4
Step Four
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
5
Step Five
Pour the chilled coffee into the glass.
6
Step Six
Stir the coffee to equalize its temperature. Add milk if you like.
Tips & Warnings
* Iced coffee is best with darker-roast coffee blends. Experiment to find the one you like best.
* Make ice cubes out of room-temperature coffee. Store them in the freezer and make undiluted iced coffee any time.
* For a decadent version of iced coffee, stir sweetened condensed milk into warm coffee before pouring it over ice.
* Never put a pot of hot coffee directly in the refrigerator. The rapid change in temperature can crack the glass.
Quick Iced Coffee
Steps
1
Step One
Brew a pot of fresh coffee using 3 to 4 tablespoons of dark-roasted ground coffee per cup.
2
Step Two
Add sugar to the hot coffee if you would like to sweeten the whole pot of coffee; it will dissolve more easily in hot coffee than in iced coffee.
3
Step Three
Fill tall, plastic (not glass!) glasses with ice cubes and pour the hot coffee over them.
Never add hot coffee to an iced GLASS...the glass will shatter!
