Please help me make good iced coffee at home!!!?

Question

Ok- so I am totally addicted to iced coffee! I love starbucks vanilla iced coffee(with cream) and mcdonalds vanilla iced coffee. I have tried making iced coffee at home and it is horrible. I used double strength like I read and cool for several hours and blah! I even use coffee from gevalia which is pretty darn good coffee. I read a question on here that said you could use an iced tea maker. Does anyone know how you would do that and if it works? I use coffee, milk, and vanilla syrup for mine bu it is just to bitter and doesn't taste anything like the iced coffee I but from either of these places. Please help!!

Answer 1

all you have to do is make the coffee normally (hot) then put it in the refrigerator for it to get cold, then put ice in it! taste gooood =]

Answer 2

Start by making:  

Coffee Ice Cubes

Don't let your coffee drinks get watered down with plain ice cubes. Freeze some coffee ahead of time in an ice cube tray. For a fancy touch, add a couple of whole roasted coffee beans to each cube. Warn your guests though. When the cubes melt, you don't want folks choking on the loose beans.

Then: Make the coffee:

Ingredients

6-8 cups strong coffee

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Directions

1Combine brewed coffee and sweetened condensed milk in a large pitcher.

2Refrigerate until chilled.

3Serve over ice coffee cubes.

Note:  If you like vanilla add it during the mixing of coffee and sweetened condensed milk. Good luck.
