How do you make your iced coffee?

[Deleted]

I've tried making my own, but it's never the same. Can anyone help me out?

Lol ther was a big discussion about this on here the other day. A few ppl posted some decent recipes but the basic consensus was that we couldn't replicate the cold pressing that coffee shops do. Maybe someone has a link to that thread for you. I think a few ppl mentioned pioneer woman's recipe as closest to coffee shop.

My favorite local coffee shop (which recently closed, RIP) made iced coffee with a toddy coffee system.  I really want one:http://www.toddycafe.com/toddy-cold-brew-system

But in lieu of buying a system, I hear this is a good way to go:http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/06/perfect-iced-coffee/  I keep meaning to try it.

I'm not fancy, I keep a pitcher of leftover coffee in the fridge

i just make a couple of shots of espresso in my aeropress, pour over ice, and mix with whatever type of milk/sweeteners we have on hand. it's usually sweetened condensed milk or half & half. mmm.

I make a cup of coffee and put it in the freezer for 45 mins. I do it before my shower so that its ready when i leave. Not very efficient.

We just brew a pot in the evening, let it cool completely and then put it in the fridge for the am. Viola.

This is what I do and I'm happy with the results.

This is what I do, too.

i used to work at Coffee Bean and the iced coffee was espresso shots over ice and then we'd fill the rest f the cup with water.

I use the Pioneer Woman technique, but only make enough at once for a mason jar because I don't drink it every day (4 cups water, 3-4 heaping tablespoons of coffee).

We have a Toddy- it works really well but it's kind of messy and takes some time.

Me too. That said, the Pioneer Woman method makes great toddy. I'm just lazy.

I used to work at Starbucks. Their iced coffee is brewed double strength, put in a pitcher with ice in the fridge, and then served in a cup with ice.

I started making freezing left over coffee in ice cube trays and I use those when making iced coffee at home--it doesn't dilute the flavor that way.

I might try Pioneer woman's recipe though, it might give me a few more minutes of silence in the mornings now that DD is done with school for the summer.

I made the pioneer recipe this weekend and it's pretty tasty. I let it sit for 24 hours to steep.

The key is to cool your coffee really fast over ice, that way it retains all it's flavor.

I do a double shot of espresso in a tall glass, add sugar and milk and fill the glass with ice. It is delicious!
