I'm sure you've seen the perfect iced coffee recipe posted all over Facebook from The Pioneer Woman blog. I love iced coffee and I'm on a budget so I thought why not! I wasn't brave enough to use a whole pound...and I didn't have a pot big enough so I went with half. I had a few casualties...like forgetting to close the spigot when I poured the coffee into my drink dispenser, but I did it! I know this shouldn't be a shock...after all its letting coffee sit in water and then pouring it in another container. Not rocket science. I tend to mess coffee up at every chance I get. I decided to read up on the site Ree originally found her recipe from. I'm interested in the physical differences, not just the flavor. I've heard that cold brewed coffee is less acidic and while I don't generally have stomach issues, that can't be a bad thing with the amount of coffee I drink! It's a great article and definitely worth the read!

As a side note, I use sweetened condensed milk in my hot coffee and it's delicious!
I used to make Vietnamese iced coffee all the time and it was so easy and yummy - I may have to start doing it again!!! and BTW - 2 posts in one day - you rock!
