Iced Coffee

Hate to dump a string of recipes out there, but it's too hot to go out and do anything outdoorsy so I'll do it anyway.  This is very simple to make, and though coffee has always wired me to the gills if I have more than a few cups, I'll take that risk with this delicious beverage.

Ingredients:

Coffee
Water

Simple, eh?

Any coffee will do, though I hear a darker, coarse ground roast makes a tastier beverage.   Of course, you can make coffee per usual and then chill it, but this receipt has a lower acidity and a different flavor than brewed coffee.  Simply take two cups of water and add 1/2 cup of ground coffee, cover and let it sit on the counter at room temperature for 12-18 hours. Strain it through a coffee filter or cheesecloth and mix it with half water or milk, or even cream if you desire a thicker, richer drink.  Pour it over crushed ice and you're done!   If you'd like a stronger drink you can freeze the coffee in an ice tray and skip adding  the ice.

Enjoy!
