1. Brew a pot of fresh coffee. If you're making the coffee just to be iced, prepare a slightly stronger blend than usual to account for ice melting later. \r\n2. Transfer the desired amount to a carafe or pitcher. \r\n3. Let stand at room temperature for 3 to 5 hours, or refrigerate for 1 1/2 to 3 hours. \r\n4. Fill a 10- to 12-oz. glass with ice cubes. \r\n5. Pour the chilled coffee into the glass. \r\n6. Stir the coffee to equalize its temperature. Add milk if you like.
