Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons dark French roast coffee ground (use the richest you can find)
  • 6 oz boiling water
  • 2-3 tablespoons condensed milk I use low-fat for less guilt
  • 1 cup coffee ice cubes*

Instructions

  • If you have the option to control your coffee maker's steeping methods, select the strongest, darkest brew.
  • Steep your coffee in hot boiling water for about 4 minutes, then pour the filtered coffee into a glass.
  • Stir in the condensed milk, then fill the glass with coffee ice cubes. Enjoy!

Notes

* I like to make my coffee ice cubes by pouring any extra brewed coffee into ice cube trays. Having a stash in the freezer means quick and delicious iced coffee all summer long!
The size of grounds depends on your method of brewing. If you’re using a coffee maker, use the fine grind. If using a French Press, use a coarser grind.
