How to Make Iced Coffee in Your Gainesville, FL, Apartment
When the weather warms up, one refreshing drink to enjoy is iced coffee. Using cold-brewed coffee and coffee ice cubes, the result is a tasty beverage that you can enjoy from the comfort of your Bellamay Grand apartment.
To make iced coffee in your Gainesville, Florida, apartment, you’ll need to start preparations at least a day in advance. The first step is to freeze coffee in ice cube form. To do this, brew a fresh pot of coffee and then pour the coffee into an ice cube tray and place it in your freezer. The next step is to make cold-brewed coffee. Here are the steps:
- Place 1/3 cup of medium-coarse ground coffee into a glass jar
- Add 1 ½ cups of filtered water into the jar and stir to combine
- Cover the jar and set aside at room temperature for at least 12 hours or overnight
- Once ready, line a fine-mesh strainer with a large coffee filter and fit it over a bowl
- Slowly pour the coffee into the strainer until all of the liquid has passed through (stop pouring once you reach the solids at the bottom)
- Discard the coffee grounds and the coffee filter
- Wash and dry the glass jar, and then transfer the strained coffee into this jar, refrigerating until completely chilled
To finish, fill a tall glass with coffee ice cubes, pour in the cold-brewed coffee, and enjoy! You can sweeten the drink with sugar and milk, if desired.
