Ultimate Iced Coffee
By wadezak1
"Cold-brewed coffee poured over coffee ice cubes makes the best iced coffee. It takes a bit of planning, but its full, rich flavor makes the wait worthwhile. The ideal coffee for this cold drink is a blend of mid-roasted beans with moderate acid. Using a dark roast and beans high in acid produces a sharper, more bitter result.

Ingredients
- 1/3 cup medium-coarse ground coffee
- 1 1/2 cups filtered water
- Coffee ice cubes
- 2 packets Sweet'N Low granulated sugar substitute
- Milk (optional)
Preparation
Step 1
Fill a tall glass with coffee ice cubes. Pour in the cold brewed coffee. Sweeten to taste with Sweet'N Low. Add milk as desired
Step 2
To Make Cold-Brewed Coffee: Place the coffee in a glass jar, add the water, and stir to combine. Cover and set aside at room temperature for 12 hours or overnight.
Step 3
Strain the coffee through a large-size paper coffee filter, a fine sieve, or a strainer lined with cheesecloth. Cold-brewed coffee can be refrigerated in a covered jar for up to 24 hours. This recipe can be doubled.
Cold brewing makes coffee with more aromatic, complex flavor and less bitterness or acidity than hot brewed coffee.
