How to Make Iced Coffee

Iced coffee is a refreshing and delicious way to enjoy your favorite coffee drink on a hot day. It's also relatively easy to make at home, with just a few simple ingredients and steps.

Ingredients

* 1 cup coarsely ground coffee * 4 cups cold water * Ice * Milk or cream (optional) * Sweetener (optional)

Instructions

1. Add the coffee grounds to a French press or cold brew maker. 2. Pour the cold water over the grounds and stir well. 3. Allow the coffee to steep for 12-24 hours, depending on the desired strength. 4. Once the coffee has steeped, press the plunger on the French press or filter the coffee through a cheesecloth-lined sieve. 5. Pour the coffee over ice in a glass. 6. Add milk or cream and sweetener, if desired.

Tips

* For a stronger iced coffee, use more coffee grounds. * For a weaker iced coffee, use less coffee grounds or steep for a shorter period of time. * If you don't have a French press or cold brew maker, you can make iced coffee in a regular coffee maker. Just brew a pot of coffee as usual and then pour it over ice. * To make iced coffee with flavored coffee beans, simply use your favorite flavored beans. * You can also add other ingredients to your iced coffee, such as chocolate syrup, caramel sauce, or flavored creamers.

Enjoy!
