Iced Coffee

Homemade iced coffee! Perfect and refreshing for summer.

Place 6 cups water in coffee pot. Add 15-18 scoops (about 1/2 tablespoon each). This ratio will brew coffee at double the strength.

Place hot coffee in a glass or plastic pitcher. Fill to the top with ice. Allow to cool in fridge. Add milk/cream and/or sugar until desired taste is reached.

I really enjoy adding low-fat milk and vanilla syrup (torani). Perfect for a hot summer day!
