I can always count on you Christy to help me make my favorite drink. I just went to McDonalds to order their unsweetened iced coffee. I get a lot of flack when I order this and have to repeat unsweetened. Now I have quart and pint canning jars and some coffee beans. Tomorrow Iʻll be a very happy lady making my own! Thank you, thank you. Iʻm going to share this with a lucky classmate of mine. He took over his grandfathers coffee farm on the Big Island of Hawaii. Bet heʻd love some of his own iced coffee.

This is genius! Made it last night and tried it this morning….so good! This is also great bc my husband is diabetic so he can pit his sugar free creamer in it. Thanks so much!!

After experimenting with different ways to cold brew, this is my system. I brew in a qt Ball jar. I strain into a 4-Cup Pyrex with a fine mesh strainer. The first 2 times I do not use a filter. It flows quickly and you catch over half the grounds. If you do not shake the jar…and pour slowly, many of the grounds will remain in the jar. The next time I use a coffee filter. It takes less than 5 minutes to drain my coffer in the AM. I love iced coffee!

Hi Christy, I read somewhere about using coffee ice cubes when making iced coffees. I don’t drink coffee so I’ve never tried it but it makes sense. It would keep your coffee from getting watered down:)

I use my French Press Pot for the same purpose. For the 12 cup pot, I put in seven scoops of either Community or Cafe du Monde decaffe with chicory and let it sit overnight. The next morning, down goes the plunger and I have yummy stuff. That usually gives me right at a quart of liquid. I mix that with an equal part of filtered water and then mix that in equal parts with milk. I then drink all of it in two days. By using the Press Pot, I skip the coffee filtering part and things move along much faster.
