Temperature a bit too warm for hot coffee? Here are three ways to make a perfect cup of iced coffee.

Quick Way: Brew your coffee double strength, using 1 Standard Measure (2 level tablespoons) of coffee to each 3 ounces of fresh, cold water. Pour over iced cubes. The extra strength hot coffee compensates for the melting ice.

Pre-cooled Way: Brew your coffee the regular way using 1 Standard Measure of coffee to each 6-ounce cup of fresh, cold water. Cool in a tightly covered non-metal container, no more than 3 hours.

Coffee Cube Way: Freeze freshly-brewed regular strength coffee into coffee cubes in the ice tray. Use instead of plain ice cubes, pouring hot, freshly-brewed regular coffee over them.
