Coconut Cardamom Iced Coffee Recipes

Steps:

• Place coffee and coconut in large bowl, jar, or pot. Slowly pour in 8 cups cool water and stir very gently until grounds are just moistened. Cover and chill 24 hours.
• Strain coffee grounds through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring glass or bowl. Discard grinds. Line sieve with a coffee filter and add as much coffee as will fit. Strain gradually into a 1-qt. airtight container or jar, adding more coffee as space is available until all the coffee has been added. Allow grounds to sit in strainer and continue to drip 20 minutes.
