Christy this is just great, but is there a easier way to strain it?
Would a french press work better then waiting for it to go through the filter?

Thanks so much for this recipe! I can’t wait to try it, and I can’t believe it is so simple-who knew!!

P.S. Loved your reference to the Walton’s (my favorite show from the past)!

Oh My! Bless your heart! I love iced coffee but try to watch my spending. I have not had iced coffee in a while until I tried this.
*I think my coffee maker is going in the yard sale* lol Thank you so much for this idea. I just love getting your emails! I find something useful, exciting and delicious in each one!

Huggles, Brenda

Just made my first batch of this last night, and got it all filtered this morning. Yum! Now to keep myself from ODing on it!

Oh this looks great. I just recently saw another mention of cold brewed coffee someplace (darned if I can remember where) and went searching out the “how to”.

I have to say this seems to be much much easier than what I found – and it doesn’t make a HUGE amount, so it is manageable. The one I found uses 9 cups of water and a pound of coffee ……

Thanks so much – I’m going to have to try this very soon (maybe tomorrow) if I have a container available, I think I have a quart Ball jar that isn’t being used.

Love your recipes and insight into so many things. Keep writing and I’ll keep reading (and trying)

I haven’t been able to drink coffee since my second child was born due to the acid-but I LOVE coffee and miss it so much. I am getting out the materials to do this today and look forward to trying a cup of this tomorrow. Thanks for another GREAT idea!

I have always loved the smell of ground coffee……or coffee when it is brewing. The smell is wonderful especially in the mornings.

Since the French Vanilla Creamer hit the dairy case, I have enjoyed a cup of coffee even more. The other flavored syrups are good as well. I have even put pumpkin pie spice in the basket of grounds before brewing. Yum !!

Your special “Home Brew” has been a great hit this summer. My husband and I have enjoyed sitting out on our little patio, chuggin’ coffee from our pint jars, watching the birds and the antics of the squirrels stealing the sunflower seeds from the feeders.

Doesn’t take much to make us Southern Folks happy……

This is the BEST iced coffee ever. Ever. I am completely addicted (as if I wasn’t before) to this yummy elixir.

Thanks Christy for another great recipe. I just talked with my sister-in-law, who is a coffee fanatic, and promised to send her the recipe as well. Using the strainer is great idea, but I think I will first try making the concentrate with my French Press. Off to the kitchen I go…. Judy In Texas
