Ice Coffee for a Hot Day

I love my iced coffee and am always keeping an eye out for the easiest way to make it.  Last year I went to the trouble of making coffee concentrate and simple syrup, but honestly, it wasn’t any better than the one I made today out of the leftover coffee from this morning.   I’ve decided that the key is a rich, dark brew and superfine sugar.  When I buy coffee beans I always choose the darkest roast and add espresso beans to the blend . The result is a strong cup of morning coffee and perfection for my favorite afternoon beverage. 

Tips for the best, easiest iced coffee:

• Leftover morning coffee works great, just make sure the coffee is strong.
• For best results pop the morning leftovers in the fridge so it’s nice and chilled for later.
• Superfine sugar stirs in quickly to a cold beverage.
• Make ice cubes out of leftover coffee to keep it from becoming diluted.
• Stir in a little half and half or milk for the perfect cup.
