Being a dedicated iced coffee drinker, when I happened upon
this Pinterest post I knew I had to try it. Dana at
cravingcomfort.blogspot.com has hit this nail on the head. Who wants to pay more than $4 for an Iced
Coffee drink? I certainly do not! And this version is rich, creamy, delicious
and approximately $1 per serving.
The process seemed simple enough; add water to coffee grounds
and let cold brew overnight. Ok, I can
do this. Then I realized I didn’t have a
container large enough to accommodate a gallon of brewing coffee. So I figured it wasn’t the container that
matter but the time it takes to brew. I
pulled 2 large zip type bags out of the drawer and divided up the grounds and
water and I was in business. With both
bags completely full, I squeezed them a bit to ensure all the grounds were wet
and let them sit. The next morning the
fun began… the filtering. This took some
time and what a mess. Did I mention I
LOVE ICED COFFEE???? I opted to run the wet grounds through coffee filters as
opposed to cheese cloth. This process
took a little over an hour, not that bad.
As the coffee filtered off I put it back into the gallon jug that the
purified water came in and stored my iced coffee in the refrigerator.
Meanwhile, I prepared the sweet cream. A can of evaporated milk and one of sweetened
condensed milk were combined and placed into a container.
So, now it’s time to enjoy. I couldn’t wait to try it. I filled the largest glass I could find with
ice, added the coffee concentrate and sweet cream to my glass. I gave it a good stir and took a sip. Delicious but just a little sweet to me, so I
added some regular milk to it…. Perfection!!!!
I will be making this iced coffee again, just as soon as I finish this
batch.
