I'm sipping iced coffee this morning (because it's after 11:am and I've already had 3 cups of hot, strong, black coffee so far this morning... don't judge me). I am gearing up for a product review that involves a brand new product to make your iced coffee but that got me thinking about iced coffee in general and I stumbled upon a quick little recipe Good Housekeeping posted way back in 1957.
Today I tend to make my iced coffee a variety of ways; from using leftover coffee in my mug that got too cool to drink because I was busy working and ignored it, to brewing strong espresso strength and cooling it down specifically for iced coffee or one of my summer favorites; using my Mr. Coffee 20-Ounce Frappe Maker
Old Fashioned Iced Coffee
For 6 ounces of iced coffee:
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. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 5 hours, but it's best left overnight (not much longer or it'll get bitter).
Strain the coffee through a coffee filter-lined strainer set over a tall glass of ice, pushing it through with a spatula.
