Description
Make a refreshing iced coffee at home that tastes like the Starbucks version.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups cold water
- 1/2 cup coarsely ground coffee beans
- Ice cubes
- Sweetener of choice (sugar, simple syrup, etc.)
- Milk or creamer of choice
Instructions
- Combine the cold water and ground coffee in a large jar or pitcher.
- Stir the mixture briefly.
- Cover the container and let it steep at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours.
- Strain the coffee concentrate through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth or a paper coffee filter into a clean container. Discard the grounds.
- To serve, fill a glass with ice.
- Pour the coffee concentrate over the ice, filling the glass about halfway.
- Add your preferred sweetener and stir until dissolved.
- Top with milk or creamer.
Notes
- For a stronger flavor, use slightly more coffee grounds.
- If you prefer a less concentrated brew, steep for a shorter time, around 12 hours.
- Simple syrup mixes into cold drinks better than granulated sugar.
