Directions
- Prepare iced coffee as in recipe for hot coffee but make twice as strong. Use twice as much ground coffee to the same amount of water as is used in making hot coffee to compensate for the dilution caused by melting ice. Remove coffee brew from urn or kettle; place in a dispenser with sufficient ice to keep coffee well chilled until served.
