Iced Coffee Anyone?

The Pioneer Woman posted a recipe for iced coffee about three months ago.
I was so excited because I have been trying to make a good iced coffee with the worst results and I could not for the life of me figure out what the trick was because there was obviously a trick.
Turns out there were lots of tricks.
I see instructions for iced coffee all over Pinterest now, so discovering the trick is a cake walk and all you need are a few basic ingredients.

Here we go...

One pound of ground coffee.
I see that every store now offers an iced coffee blend and I don't know if that means anything, but it's the same price so you might as well try it.

Pour the entire bag of coffee into a large bowl




Then add one gallon of water and gently combine.




Now you have a big bowl of black oogy coffee soupy slop.

Perfect.

Refrigerate overnight.

The next morning get some cheesecloth





and lay it in a strainer.


Put the strainer over a two quart pitcher



and strain the whole works into the pitcher.

Now...

Get a can of PET and a can of sweetened condensed milk 


and mix the two of them together in a shakeable something like this



Then pour the coffee and cream over a glass of ice like this!

This is the only picture that's mine, all the rest are Google pics.
Deelish.
Seriously.
Perfect.

Ok, that's all for now.
I've had so much iced coffee while putting this post together I think I need to go clean the pasture or put a new roof on the barn.

Peas.
