Found this over at PW's and really had not seen Iced Coffee done this way. I think cold brewing takes the bitterness out and give you a smoother drink. I made myself a straight up Iced Coffee...
and then Little One put some in blender and made herself a
"Frapp". I recommend de-caf for the little Frapp drinkers :)
This recipe is for a large batch but I am sure you can do half. With this hot weather creeping in, I love having a big o container waiting for me every morning.
1 lb ground coffee
8 qts cold water
half and half (healthy splash per serving)
sweet condensed milk (2-3 tbsp per serving)
you can use skim milk, 2% milk, whole milk, sugar, artificial sweetener, syrup, what ever floats your boat :)
In a large container, mix ground coffee with water. Cover and allow it to sit at room temperature 8 hours or overnight.
Line a fine mesh strainer with a couple of layers of cheesecloth and set over your picture or container. Slowly pour coffee/water mixture through your strainer, letting all the liquid run through. Discard grounds, or sprinkle them around in your garden like I do. Now put coffee mixture in the refrigerator to chill - I let mine sit overnight.( I found this giant container at Walmart)
To make iced coffee just fill a glass with ice, fill it about 2/3's full with the coffee liquid. Add half and half, 2-3 tbsp of sweet condensed milk. You can use plain sugar or your Spenda if you like. Stir to combine. Taste and change it to your liking.
