[Feachie]

is "iced coffee" in vietnamese. in this thread feachie is going to show you how to make perfect iced coffee every time. it's not a traditional recipe, but it's a good one. i use a cold brew method which takes a bit of time, but is worth it in the end.

shopping list:
2 gallon container
1lb whole bean coffee, the bolder the better
1 can sweetened condensed milk
milk, but you should have that in the fridge if you're half ass domesticated
cheese cloth

total cost >$15

grind your coffee to desired coarseness. i've found that something between a french press and an espresso grind works best. dump your coffee into the 2 gallon container and add water. cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, but longer is better. my best batch so far was with a 48 hour brew time. stir up the mix any time you think about it.

i use a stainless stew pot for this part, you might need a second 2 gallon container if you don't have anything big enough. pour the coffee/water mix through your cheese cloth and discard the grounds. the liquid you strained is obviously your coffee.

fill your cup half full with coffee, add 3 tablespoons of the condensed milk, a splash of milk, and fill the rest of the cup with ice. sweeten to taste with sugar, and if you like it extra creamy add an extra tablespoon of condensed milk.
