Delicious iced coffee

I discovered this in NY Times. My cousin and I got addicted to this when we were hanging out at the lake house in the heat. It is delicious and you don't have to wait for the coffee to cool down before enjoying a glass (or 2 or 8).

Recipe: Cold-Brewed Iced Coffee

Time: 5 minutes, plus 12 hours’ resting

Iced Coffee? No Sweat

1/3 cup ground coffee (medium-coarse grind is best)
Milk (optional).

1. In a jar, stir together coffee and 1 1/2 cups water. Cover and let rest at room temperature overnight or 12 hours.

2. Strain twice through a coffee filter, a fine-mesh sieve or a sieve lined with cheesecloth. In a tall glass filled with ice, mix equal parts coffee concentrate and water, or to taste. If desired, add milk.

Yield: Two drinks.

NOTE: To make hot coffee, dilute concentrate one-to-one with water and heat in the microwave.
