Perfect Iced Coffee


Added by Ree, from Pioneer Woman, on June 12, 2011 in Drinks

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ground Coffee (good, Rich Roast)
  • 8 quarts Cold Water
  • Half-and-half (healthy Splash Per Serving)
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk (2-3 Tablespoons Per Serving)
  • Note: Can Use Skim Milk, 2% Milk, Whole Milk, Sugar, Artificial Sweeteners, Syrups...adapt To Your Liking!

Preparation Instructions

(Adapted from Imbibe Magazine)

In a large container, mix ground coffee with water. Cover and allow to sit at room temperature eight hours or overnight.

Line a fine mesh strainer with cheesecloth and set over a pitcher or other container. Pour coffee/water mixture through the strainer, allowing all liquid to run through. Discard grounds.

Place coffee liquid in the fridge and allow to cool. Use as needed.

To make iced coffee, pack a glass full of ice cubes. Fill glass 2/3 full with coffee liquid. Add healthy splash of half-and-half. Add 2-3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (can use plain sugar instead) and stir to combine. Taste and adjust half-and-half and/or sweetened condensed milk as needed.

How to make Foolproof Pie Crust:

Mix together:
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoons salt

Cut in with pastry cutter:
1 3/4 cups shortening
(I used Butter Flavored Crisco)
Set aside.
In separate bowl:
1 egg, beaten
Add:

1 tablespoon vinegar
5 tablespoon very cold water

Add liquid mixture to flour, mix just until you form a ball.
Do Not over handle or crust will be tough.
Divide into 4 sections, wrap in plastic wrap. Can be stored in the frig for a few days or placed in Ziploc Baggie and frozen for a couple of months.

I have seen this recipe on two different sites:
http://suzannemcminn.com/blog/2008/05/22/foolproof-pie-crust/
and
http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2007/12/p-p-p-pie_crust_and_its_p-p-p-perfect/

They both show you picture-by-picture steps.
I hope you enjoy, it was really easy to do.

Olive cheese bread

The Pioneer Woman Cooks is another website I go to. She has beautiful step-by-step photo recipes of good wholesome foods.
This one made me think of Courtney, because she loves olives.
