Iced Coffee

Once again this recipe is a Pioneer Woman one. But made in a smaller batch and more reasonable size. (The original is a HUGE batch!) Here is the original if you want it.

Here is what you need -
Ground Coffee of your choice 
Water 
A gallon sized container or pitcher
Strainer
Fabric (you can use a cheesecloth or even a bandanna)
Fixin's! I use coffee syrup and milk. You can use stevia, flavored creamers or even condensed milk (YUM!)


So you are going to measure up 1 cup of ground coffee. I'm going decaf this time cause I'm trying to cut caffeine.....it's been agonizing. 

So get the pitcher and coffee. Measure up 1 cup of coffee grounds. (More if you'd like it stronger)
Pour the ground into the pitcher. I have a 1 gallon pitcher. So you'll need 1 gallon of water.



So it'll look like this. I let mine sit overnight so it'll be nice and strong.


So this next step I recommend doing in the sink cause it was the potential to get messy!


So I place my strainer over my pitcher and line it with the fabric. 


Then pour in the mixture. Just make sure you don't get grounds in the finished product....it's gross!


So after straining you have a the ability to make a wonder iced coffee! (Helps with saving money too! No more having to pay 2-4 dollars for a cup of iced coffee!)


Now lets make a glass!


First you need ice. Hence the name ICED coffee! I fill my glass a little over halfway with the coffee.


Then top it off with milk.


Here is the sweetener I use. Just a splash is plenty for me. But make it how you want.


Last but not least enjoy!
