I used to brew my iced coffee double strong and keep it in a pitcher in the fridge. But then, my friend Samantha, told me about a wonderful iced coffee recipe from the Pioneer Woman....found here. It's great, super easy and I only have to make it about once a week.
Follow the link above for the step by step directions, but basically, you pour half a bag of coffee grounds in a big bowl, fill it with water, cover it and let it sit over night. Then pour the coffee through cheese cloth and a strainer (I use a mesh one) into whatever pitcher you want to use to dispense your coffee.
Keep in the fridge and help yourself whenever! I used flavored creamer so I don't have to add additional sugar (which doesn't dissolve well in cold drinks anyway).
Here's my set up in the fridge...
Yum....makes me want some right now!
Yum! That is not sad at all...I have coffee at 2pm everyday and I look forward to it starting around 10am. :)
ReplyDeleteMmmm...awesome! I've been making a cup every day...this will be a timesaver. I also look forward to it every morning, going as long as I can until I sip its awesomeness. :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to know I'm not alone!! :-)
ReplyDeletei did that once last summer but thought it was kind of hard work! :)
ReplyDeleteKatie, I think if you do it more often, you get the hang of it. Plus, make sure you just toss the cheesecloth afterward. For awhile, I was trying to rinse it and reuse it. WAY too hard.
