I cold brew my coffee and then drink it iced -- very refreshing on a hot day and a nice change from iced tea!
Put 1 cup of ground coffee in a glass quart jar, fill the rest of the way with water (leaving 1 inch of headspace at the top), stir it like crazy or put the lid on and shake (to wet all of the grounds), and leave it on the counter for 12 hours. Line a strainer with a coffee filter, place it over a bowl or big measuring cup, strain the grounds from the liquid (it takes a bit of time and you'll probably want to change filters at least once). Pour filtered coffee into jar or pitcher and keep in the fridge for up to a month. This is concentrated; you'll want to do 1 part coffee to 3 parts water (hot or cold).
When I'm ready to drink it, I fill up my glass with ice, add 1 part coffee concentrate, 1 part milk, sweeten to taste, and 2-3 parts water (the ice does dilute it as it melts).
