Coffee Base

Iced Coffee Preparation

Method

Coffee Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Coffee

    In a large pot, combine 0.5 cups of coarse ground coffee with 4 cups of water. Stir well to ensure all the coffee grounds are saturated.

  2. 2

    Steep the Coffee

    Cover the pot and let the coffee steep at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours. The longer it steeps, the stronger the coffee will be.

  3. 3

    Strain the Coffee

    After steeping, strain the coffee through a fine mesh sieve or a coffee filter into another container. Discard the used coffee grounds.

    Prepare the Glass

    Take a tall glass and fill it with 2 cups of ice cubes.

  2. 5

  3. 6

    Add Milk

    Pour 0.5 cups of milk (dairy or non-dairy) into the glass. Stir gently to combine.

  4. 7

    Sweeten to Taste

    Add 2 tsp of sugar or your preferred sweetener. Stir until fully dissolved. If desired, add 0.5 tsp of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
