"This iced coffee recipe (from Alison Ladman) was published in my local newspaper on July 7, 2011. I hope you enjoy it! (Note: Please use only prechilled coffee in the recipe, using ice to chill hot coffee dilutes it and adversely effects the flavor.) The 1 to 2 minute "Cooking time" is the approximate blending time."
