One of my favorite type of iced coffee drinks is a Vietnamese drink where a hottle is placed on a glass of ice and sweetened, condensed milk. The hot water is poured in, the grounds steep and the resulting coffee passes through. Delicious... And unique. I love your step by step instructions and the photos are awesome.

We have just recently purchased our beans from "Grounds for Change" and discovered the stronger the beans the much better (not just stronger) the concentrate will be. The last batch of beans I bought were so strong they didn't even smell like coffee. We thought they might have been ruined. They made the BEST coffee any of us have ever had.

It's still nice enough weather here in Mexico City that it's the perfect quick coffee as I'm running out the door to school. And yesterday when it was chilly and rainy I tried adding hot milk and was pleasantly surprised that it still tasted terrific. I may be spoiled...the drip coffee we made this weekend paled in comparison. Thanks for the great, easy idea! Am on week 2 of cold-brewed revelation.

Add any type sweetener if desired. To save on calories: Try Splendor and no sugar added ice- cream, coffee flavored. Enjoy! Oh!, so much trouble when one can save the strong left-over coffee, put in

I'm partial to Rufus Wainwright's version, but then again, I love his music anyway. Just a note on the digression–what is your preferred version of “Hallelujah”?
