Iced Coffee

[MrKhay]

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!

the problem with any coffee for me whether it is hot, cold, iced, in a cake, lol anything, is the fact that it smells heavenly and taste terrible.

I know millions of people love their coffee each and every morning but I have to have my Coke Zero, or Diet Coke lol. Can't put coffee in my mouth without that nasty bitter after taste! yuck! lol

But like I said, it smells wonderful. Go figure.

I love hot coffee but try as I might I just cant stand cold coffee, Ive tried just about everything I can think of but no go. So I drink my hot coffee in the morning and at night I drink iced tea unsweetened all day! :?

I got on iced coffee while road tripping cross country. I had no little coffee pot that would plug into the cigarette lighter, or any such deal, and I had a big jar of instant coffee. Each service stop on the interstate had free ice water, so I filled a two gallon cooler with ice water, and made my own iced coffee while on the road. Sure kept me alert. I kinda like the stuff.

My wife loves iced coffee and a few of my friends do also but for some reason it has to be hot, not even luke warm. I love coffee so Im gonna keep trying to find a way to make it where I will like it cold, I havent given up yet LOL!
I forgot to mention that the Dairy Queens Moo Latte I like, now that I could drink all day long but there isnt a Dairy Queen everywhere and oh the fat and calories ops: Jimi

Frozen Latte is easy enough to make. Essentially, a frozen latte is the coffee/espresso equivalent of a root beer float, or as Wisconsin folks like to call them, "Black Cows". The only difference being, the ice cream merely floats in the root beer, while a latte is whipped, or beaten to a liquid consistency.

McDonald's new iced coffees are actually good and the price is right at $1.99 for a large. They're even better when you put Frangelico in them!

see?...I have commentary on my side

I think it would be great if it was made with root beer instead of coffee! lol
