Recipe #349: Perfect Iced Coffee!

I had pinned this a while ago on pinterest and now that summer is upon us I decided that this would be a perfect drink to have on hand. So I checked out the recipe found here, got the necessary ingredients (coffee and water!) and got strarted! :) Cold brewing is supposed to help it be less acidic.

You need:
1 gallon of water
1 lb bag of ground coffee
half and half

• in a large pot, dump the bag of coffee then add the gallon of water make sure the coffee is submerged
• cover and let it sit overnight
• get a big pitcher, a strainer and some coffee filters.
• place the strainer in the pitcher, make sure the bottom fits well in the pitcher (this was a problem i had!) line the strainer with a coffee filter.
• ladle the coffee into the strainer. you will need several coffee filters! 

This concentrate should last about a month! I mixed about 2/3 of a cup with the iced coffee and then about 1/4 half and half and a bunch of ice!
