Make strong coffee - Ice will significantly dilute the final cup, so you need to start with strong coffee to get a good flavor. While I usually use a 2:3 ratio of scoops to "cups" for hot coffee, iced coffee needs a 1:1 ratio. If in doubt, use more.
Add sugar - While it's still hot, stir in your desired sugar amount. Sweeten slightly more than usual. Approx. 1 t per coffee cup...if using a flavoured syrup, skip the sugar.
Chill until cold, don't add ice
Mix with cream, syrup, or flavoured creamers and pour over ice - Serve over a lot of ice.
VARIATION - Freeze coffee in ice cubes trays so it doesn't water down the coffee. For an extra touch add a whole coffee bean to each ice cube.
