How to Make Perfect Everyday Iced Coffee

  1. Brew 6 cups of strong coffee using your preferred method (drip, French press, etc.). For extra strong coffee, use a slightly higher coffee-to-water ratio than usual.
  2. Allow the hot coffee to cool slightly. Do not add ice at this point.
  3. Once cooled, add 1/2 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half, as preferred) and 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste).
  4. Stir until the cream and sugar are completely dissolved.
  5. Fill a pitcher with ice.
  6. Pour the coffee mixture over the ice.
  7. Stir gently and serve immediately or refrigerate for later. Enjoy your perfectly crafted iced coffee!
