“I based this homemade iced coffee on Starbucks(R) bottled Frappuccino(R). My husband and I love it and our fridge is never without a pitcher of this super easy, frugal alternative to the expensive stuff. Even though winter’s coming and we live in Pennsylvania’s Lake Erie snowbelt, we drink this year-round as an alternative to soda and other soft drinks. This particular recipe lends itself to endless variations limited only by your imagination!”
Ingredients
- 4 cups ice cubes, or as needed
- 8 cups strong freshly brewed coffee
- 1 cup white sugar, or to taste
- 4 cups whole milk
Directions
- Place 2 cups of ice cubes into a 2-quart pitcher; slowly pour coffee over ice and stir until ice is melted. Stir sugar into coffee and mix thoroughly until sugar is completely dissolved. Add milk, stirring just until combined. Stir in remaining 2 cups ice, adding more as needed; refrigerate until well chilled, about 30 minutes.
- Stir before serving. Pour over ice in tall glasses or into recycled serving-size glass bottles or insulated tumblers.
