Simple Iced coffee recipe - How to make Iced Coffee

Simple Iced Coffee Recipe:



For 6 ounces of iced coffee:

1. In a small pitcher or 1-quart measuring cup, whisk together 1/3 cup ground coffee and 1 1/3 cups cold water until all the lumps are gone.

2. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 5 hours, but it's best left overnight (not much longer or it'll get bitter).



3. Strain the coffee through a coffee filter-lined strainer set over a tall glass of ice, pushing it through with a spatula.



Voilà! Delicious, undiluted iced coffee for about 20 cents. You'll pay at least 15 times that in most coffee shops.
