Recipe of the Week - Home Brewed Iced Coffee



1 cup ground coffee-----I like to grind my own beans
1 qt. cold water------right out of the faucet  (not hot)
Strainer
Large coffee filters

You can use a quart jar, pitcher or anything with a wide mouth.
Pour water over coffee grounds making sure all are wet.  
Cover and let sit on counter overnight 12-15 hours. 

Put strainer over a large bowl. 
Place coffee filter inside strainer.  
Slowly pour the coffee into the filter. (it usually takes 2 to 3 filters)

When you finish straining the coffee, you should have about 1.5 pints of concentrate. 

Refrigerate (covered) to store. 

I like strong coffee so I use 1/4 cup coffee concentrate------fill rest of cup with milk.  Sweeten to taste. I pour this over crushed ice.
You can also add a scoop of ice cream instead of the ice.  Top with whipping cream.

This goes a long way because you only use a small amount of coffee each time.
