Homemade iced coffee

Thanks for posting, I'll have to check it out compared to mine.

I like the make my coffee the night before, add the sugar while it's hot, and then stick it in the fridge. In the morning I add the ice and cream, comes out delicious!

I am definitely going to try this! Thanks for sharing!

That had a lot of steps. I just do this, it's much more simple.

Put enough coffee in filter for 10 cups of coffee, but only put in 5 cups of water. Turn on the coffee machine to make REALLY STRONG coffee.

Fill a pitcher halfway with icecubes. Poor hot coffee into pitcher. Ice cubes will dilute the strength of the coffee to normal levels and chill it. Store in fridge.

That's it. no messing around with dishes and strainers. Week's worth of iced coffee with minimal effort.

So. I love iced coffee, but hate the price, calories, and amount of sugar they throw into it. The problem with making it at home is the coffee either gets stale if you let it cool or watered down if you just throw some ice in.

So I found this awesome "recipe" for iced coffee. It's amazing. After I make one batch, I am set for a couple of weeks!

I don't like any sweetness or cream in my coffee or tea, either iced or hot. I make iced coffee like I make iced tea--I pour strong brewed coffee over ice and drink. Yum!
