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.
