How To Make Iced Coffee Concentrate

Ingredients

1 lb. ground coffee (medium to rich roast)

8 qt. cold water

Half-and-half (healthy splash per serving)

Sweetened condensed milk (2-3 tablespoons per serving)

Note:  Use skim milk, 2% milk, whole milk, sugar, artificial sweeteners, and syrups.

Directions

1. In a large container, mix ground coffee with water. Cover and allow to sit at room temperature for twelve hours or overnight. 
2. Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth and set over a pitcher or other container. Pour the coffee/water mixture through the strainer, allowing all liquid to run through. Discard grounds. 
3. Place coffee liquid in the fridge and allow to cool. Use as needed. 
4. To make iced coffee, pack a glass full of ice cubes. Fill glass 2/3 full with coffee liquid. Add a healthy splash of half-and-half. Add 2-3 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk (can use plain sugar instead) and stir to combine. Taste and adjust half-and-half and/or sweetened condensed milk as needed.
