Homemade Iced Coffee

I brew my coffee for the iced coffee the same way as a regular pot of hot coffee. For iced coffee though, I use double the coffee grinds to make it double the strength. (If you typically use one tablespoon per cup, you will want to use about 1.5 – 2 tablespoons per cup for your iced coffee.) After the pot has finished brewing, I chill the coffee in a big thermos (or pitcher) in the refrigerator. (Letting the coffee chill overnight works best.) To make iced coffee, I just add ice to the chilled coffee as well as milk, sugar, etc. It’s a great treat on warm summer mornings (or afternoons), and making it at home saves you a couple of bucks!

Check out my step-by-step instructions here.

    Hi Tina!
    I love iced coffee too. Have you ever made cold brewed coffee? It’s great for this purpose! Really easy too. There was a recipe in the NY Times a while ago: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/27/dining/276drex.html
    Just thought I’d share!
    Love your blog :)

    I love iced coffee! Have you seen the N.O. Brew they sell at Whole Foods? It comes in regular, moca, vanilla and hazelnut flavors…all delish! But it can be pricey…this is definitely a better way to go. I also love the Torani sugar-free syrups (even though they have splenda in them…ugh) but they are very tasty additions to iced coffees!! Right now the “seasonal flavor” is pumpkin pie and it is HEAVENLY!!!
