Drummond provides detailed instructions on his website for making the perfect iced coffee, including ground coffee, half-and-half, sweetened condensed milk, and other ingredients: First, mix the ground coffee with water, cover, and let sit at room temperature for at least 12 hours, and up to 24 hours.
From there, pour the coffee and water mixture through a strainer and let the coffee chill in the fridge. When it’s ready, pour it into cups and add cream, condensed milk, or other syrups or sweeteners as desired.
“Iced coffee is my life,” Drummond writes in the recipe. “When I wake up, just as the West Coast partygoers are heading home, I start each day not with a freshly brewed hot coffee, but with a tall glass of creamy iced coffee. I’ve been hooked on iced coffee for years. To say I can’t live without it is an understatement. Iced coffee gives me the tools I need to cope.”

Commenters have been singing the praises of this recipe: “I tried this today and all I can say is WOW! It’s amazing,” one person wrote. “The only thing I like from Starbucks is their iced mocha but they’re expensive! I made my own homemade chocolate syrup to go with this recipe and it’s perfect! Now I can get at least four cups for the price of one.”
