This recipe makes 1 Gallon of Iced Coffee Concentrate. You can easily double everything if you’re serving a large crowd. By the way, this is an awesome party drink on a hot summer day (or even if it’s just a little warm out, you should go ahead and make a batch).
I took my jug of coffee to my parents house for Sunday lunch and my creative sister Alla added a little extra condensed milk and poured it into a blender to make an amazing coffee frappe. Yeah it’s seriously awesome. It’s just as good (maybe a little a lot better) as the stuff in coffee shops that are $4-$5 a cup.
Be your own barista and offer iced or blended (don’t forget to put out a tip jar!). We love having this iced coffee concentrate in the fridge; it’s so easy to make an amazing iced coffee on the go!
Ingredients for Perfect Iced Coffee:
1/2 lb Ground Coffee (~3 1/4 cups)
8 cups Boiling Water
8 cups Ice Cold Water
1 Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
What You’ll Need:
Either a large french press or a fine mesh sieve with 6 layers of cheese cloth
How To MakeIced Coffee with Condensed Milk:
1. Pour ground coffee in a large heat proof bowl or pot. Add in 8 cups boiling hot water. Stir to get all of the coffee grounds wet then let it sit 5 minutes. (Note: if grinding your own coffee, don’t grind it too fine or it will go right through your cheese cloth).
2. If you have a french press, put it through the press in a couple batches, otherwise, Place thecolanderover a clean, heat proof bowl or jug and line the sieve with 6 layers of cheesecloth (this will catch the stray coffee grounds)
3. After the coffee is all strained, discard the coffee grounds and add in 8 cups ice cold water to the coffee. Refrigerate until ready to use. This concentrate lasts 3 weeks to a month in the fridge (it will likely be consumed long before that, but just in case you’re wondering).
4. To serve, fill a tall glass or mason jar almost to the top with ice. Pour your coffee concentrate to the top of the ice. Add 1-2 Tbsp sweetened condensed milk depending on how much of a sweet tooth you’ve got. I thought it was perfect with 1 1/2 Tbsp. Stir with a spoon until the condensed milk is well incorporated (it tends to sink to the bottom). Add a straw and drink it on a hammock in the shade. 🙂
Oh yeah… I just don’t think you could really over-do it with condensed milk (It’s just as good as nutella; there I said it).
So, iced or a blended frappuccino?
What’s your favorite summer drink?
