Not-so-instant iced coffee

I used to work in a fancy coffee shop, and being college aged, I don't have a bunch of coffee-related appliances around. So, I combined my knowledge of artisan coffee with the complications of making it at home and came up with this recipe!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Combine 3 grams of instant coffee of choice with cold water and mix, allowing to dissolve. This may take a long time. You could speed this up by adding a bit of hot water, allowing it to dissolve, then adding cold water the rest. You want the coffee ice cubes to be pretty dark as they will lighten in color when they freeze. Try to only make as much coffee as you will need for an ice tray, but if you have leftover, you can add it to your iced coffee mix.

Add 9 combined grams of instant coffee to a heat safe receptacle with a lid that will fit in your fridge. Mine was about 28 oz so that's the ratio you're working with. Boil water and add any sugar you will want now so it will dissolve and you don't have to make simple syrup. Here is where you add any flavorings you want.Add as little water as you can, enough to dissolve everything. Pop the lid on and shake.

Once dissolved, fill the rest of the way with cool water

Freeze ice cubes and chill iced coffee overnight. I make this a day in advanced
- 5
Depending on the size of your icecubes, for around 12 oz of coffee, I add 1-2 standard sized ice cubes. Coffee is oily so if you add too many, there will be a very unappetizing oil on the top of your coffee that won't wanna mix with the rest. Smaller ice cubes is better

Optionally prepare it this way:

Add any cream or whatever you want and enjoy!

Iced Coffee at Home Iced Coffee at Home
I always use a specialized cold-brew pot to make iced coffee, but I use this recipe when I'm making a large amount or when I'm at my parents' house.Making your own iced coffee is better for the environment, since you won't have to waste a plastic bottle.(With the specialized cold-brew pot, you don't even need tea bags!)It takes 8 to 10 hours for tasty coffee, so I recommend setting it up before you go to bed, or before leaving your home in the morning.If you use only 1 empty tea bag, the coffee grinds may leak out. You may want to use the second bag to cover the first with the opening at the other end, strain the coffee through a strainer, or transfer it to another container through a tea strainer.

Orange-flavoured Iced Coffee for Summer Orange-flavoured Iced Coffee for Summer
I tried making a new drink using iced coffee and orange!I took hints from recipes I found in books and on the Internet.You can make your original drink using fresh fruit, and that is something special about homemade drinks.I chose medium-roast coffee beans to suit the refreshing orange juice. Citrus-flavoured coffee from Kenya goes perfectly well with orange.By adding the sugar syrup to the orange juice and carefully pouring in the coffee, you'll get two clear layers to enjoy.
