NOTES
1. Can I make the iced coffee less sweet? Start with 2 or 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Once the coffee is cold, taste it. Stir in more confectioners sugar if needed; it may take a little longer to dissolve in cold coffee.
2. Can I use granulated sugar? Yes. Stir it into the hot coffee until every grain has dissolved before placing the coffee in the refrigerator.
3. Can I use coffee ice cubes? Yes. Freeze cooled coffee in an ice cube tray. The cubes keep the coffee flavor strong as they melt.
4. Storage
- Store the iced coffee covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Stir before serving and add the ice only when pouring.
- I don’t recommend freezing it because the cream may separate.
