Tirani syrup (probably vanilla), your favorite flavor of coffee, coffe pot/maker, cream, ice.

Personally, I think McD's Vanilla Iced coffee kills all others.

So brewing a pot of coffee, adding ice, a dash of milk, and a bit of sugar if you desire is too hard to do?

Patience, Young Grasshopper. You have much to learn.

Please, that won't make iced coffee. The only way to do it right is to do it the way Tibetan Monks have done it for 10,000 years... using the TibetanMonk Iced Coffee Machine! Only $4,999

Iced coffee is typically brewed stronger than regular coffee, so if you asre going to do it in a pot, make it about 1/3 stronger.

The other option is to cold brew it. Make a cheese cloth bag, fill with lots of ground coffee. Put into some type of caontainer full of water (and a little vanilla extract if you like), let sit in fridge for 24-48 hours based on desired strength.

I'll brew a pot of coffee then leave it in the fridge overnight. Next day, a nice ice coffee for the walk to work.

2. put a cup of ice next to it
3. you have an iced coffee machine

I think it would be better to put said coffee maker in the freezer to make coffee.

Look just get a 2 quart plastic jug.
Dump 1 cup of coffee in.
Fill the 2 quarts with water.
Stir.
Sit in fridge overnight (8 hours).
Strain through cheese cloth or fine mesh strainer.
Toss in some milk, chocolate syrup, ice cubes, whatever.


Tastes much better this way then brewing hot then icing.

Don't believe me ?

Google 'cold brewing coffee"

Done.

A taco machine and a margarita machine together. YES!

I just made my own iced coffee for the first time and decided to report my experience.

I just so happened to have a bottle of bailey's mint chocolate. (nothing wrong with liquor early in the morning... right?)

filled a tall glass to the rim with ice. Filled about 4/5 with coffee (from coffee maker).. then topped off with baily's.

Overall, It's pretty good. It could do with some whipped cream and maybe some hershey chocolate or something.. it's missing a little bite.. but close.
