Iced Cold Brewed Coffee Recipe + Ice Cube Hack

The hot days of summer are just one month away. As if in anticipation of the season change, my insatiable craving for hot coffee vanished, instantly and inexplicably. I went from drinking hot coffee every morning to not even craving it, essentially overnight. My coffee addiction has gone from hot to cold with the weather change and I'm loving it. Hot coffee has its amazing qualities but cold brew coffee is an entirely different animal. It has such a smooth rich taste that is so mellow compared to the bitterness of hot coffee. Where hot coffee tends to be comforting, cold brew coffee is refreshing. It's just so so good. And if you try this recipe, you will be so so addicted. You're welcome.

Ingredients for coffee concentrate:

1 C of freshly ground medium roast medium-coarse coffee
4.5 C of cold water(filtered tap water is fine)
Milk, cream, flavor syrup, whipped cream, sugar, spice, or whatever your heart deserves.

Instructions:

In a glass jar or pitcher, combine coffee and water
Stir to thoroughly combine then cover and let brew for 12-24 hours**
After it brews, filter the coffee using a fine mesh strainer, paper coffee filter, or cheese cloth
To serve mix equal portions of coffee concentrate to water(more or less depending on desired strength.
Add cream, sugar, flavors, etc, whatever you want to make it special
Enjoy!

*You can brew out of the fridge(like me) or in the fridge
*Because it needs to brew at least 12 hours, it's a good idea to prepare the night before you want to drink it
