I’ve been using the Pioneer Woman’s Perfect Iced Coffee recipe for a while now. Over time it’s been tweaked here and there. Much like she did with the recipe she found and thus creating her own Perfect Iced Coffee. So you could say this is Ami’s PERFECT Iced Coffee Recipe.
First, her recipe suggests buying Cafe Bustelo which can be found at Walmart, Target, Kroger, etc. You shouldn’t have a problem finding it. It’s PERFECT for iced coffee.
So you will need:
Cafe Bustelo or a good strong ground coffee will do
half n half, milk or cream
water
ice
sweetener
I’ve done the over night steeping method she calls for in her recipe many many times. I have also done the brew extra strong coffee in my coffee maker and let it cool over night in the fridge method. I do the drip brew when I don’t have time in the morning to strain the over night grounds. I honestly can’t tell a difference in either. So I would say which ever works best for y’all. Both are measured the same. For my recipe I use a tablespoon (NOT heaping) of coffee for each cup of water plus 2. So 10 cups of water would be 12 tablespoons. This comes out strong…good and strong I would say.
If you do the over night steeping method, measure your water and add coffee to it. If you’re not sure you want it as strong as mine I would suggest adding 1 tablespoon per cup of water. Once you add coffee stir it up gently and cover it. I make mine in a 2 quart pitcher and cover it with plastic wrap. Leave it out over night. It needs to steep at room temperature and for at least 8 hours. Then slowly strain the coffee. This is my super high tech straining device.
I strain the coffee through two mesh filters and a coffee filter. Once it’s done straining place it in the fridge and let it get cold. Then pour over ice and add as much half n half and sweetener as you like. You can also buy flavor syrups to create your own flavored iced coffee.
It’s really easy to make and saves you precious $$ and gas from having to wait in that super popular coffee chain drive thru lane!
How do you like your iced coffee? Do you know of or have any interesting coffee recipes I should know about?
