Cold-Brewed Iced Coffee - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup ground coffee
9 cups cold water, divided
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (optional)

Preparation

In a jar with a tight fitting lid combine coffee grounds and 4 1/2 cups cold water. Cover and shake well. Set aside at room temperature at least 12 hours.
Strain the coffee twice through sieve lined with a coffee filter or cheesecloth. Pour the strained coffee into a large pitcher. Add the remaining 4 1/2 cups cold water. Serve with sweetened condensed milk or sugar and regular milk.
Note: Make one batch to use for ice cubes. Freeze the coffee in ice cube trays and serve iced coffee with frozen coffee cubes so it doesn't get watered down.
