Thai Iced Coffee - 12 Hour Brew Technique

"This is a cool coffee drink that is brewed by allowing it to stand at room temperature for 12 hours and thus not heating up your house on an already hot day. *We prefer dark roast for the fuller flavor but you could use regular roast."

  1. We've had a two week streak of temperatures over 90, and this is just what I need to get through it. My only change to it was that after filtering out the grounds, I poured in the condensed milk and whirred it with my immersion blender. So all I have to do in the morning is pour. That's just about my speed when it's this warm.
     
  2. This is the bomb! Effortlessly get good, strong coffee that you can use in your favourite iced beverage. Exactly what I need - and way better for me than the instant coffee I usually use to make my iced drinks. I'm going to try varying the extract when I'm done with this batch. Even though the vanilla is great (you can add more than called for), I'm thinking it would also be awesome with almond or hazelnut. Thanks for a very good recipe.
     
  3. This was so good, I made half the recipe and wished I had made the whole recipe instead, next time. I loved how easy it was to make. I let it sit overnight and enjoyed it in the morning and afternoon. I used Starbucks Bold French Roast Coffee, it was wonderful prepared this way. The condensed milk makes it very rich, sweet and creamy. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe, that I will make again.
     
  4. This is SO. GOOD. I might be twitching a little as I type this because I can't seem to stop drinking it LOL. Good thing I made it half caf! I cut the recipe down to 2 oz of coffee and I really wish I hadn't. I will definitely make this again, in fact I'm pretty sure this is on its way to my Best of 2013 cookbook :). Made for ZWT 9, Gourmet Goddesses.
     
  5. Started this before bed so it would be ready in the morning. I wasn't sure that this would be sweet enough for me (I like a little coffee with my milk and sugar, lol), but surprisingly, it was. Whoo-eee, is this ever "kicky", though! If you're on the caffeine-sensitive side like me, you might want to consider using a lighter brew coffee, or even decaf. I used Colombian dark roast coffee for mine. My to-go iced coffee cup is pretty big, and I made the mistake of filling it up. It tasted so good that I finished the whole cup, but my hands were shaking for hours after my coffee was gone! I think if anyone had stood next to me in a quiet room, they would've heard a slight hum from me vibrating because I was so caffeinated, LOL. With that said, I would definitely make this again, but I would use a MUCH smaller cup. Thanks for posting! Made for The Hot Pink Panthers for ZWT9
