Instructions

Brew a pot of fresh coffee using 3 or 4 tablespoons of dark-roasted ground coffee per cup. It is important to make strong coffee because later when ice is added to the final cup, it dilutes the drink. Hence, to get the right flavor make stronger coffee.
While the coffee is still hot, stir in desired amount of sugar. Sweeten slightly more than usual. Preferably 1 teaspoon per coffee “cup” will give you the desired sweetness. It is always better to add sugar when the coffee is hot because the sugar dissolves more easily in hot coffee than in iced coffee.
Allow the hot coffee to cool. Place it in the fridge for while so that it is chilled.
Now take a tall plastic glass and fill it with ice cubes. Pour the coffee over the ice cubes. Stir well.
Allow it sit for a minute so as to allow the ice to chill the coffee further and melt slightly. Then give it a final stir.

Tips

Instead of using sugar for the entire pot, you can even selectively sweeten and flavor each cup with flavor syrups.
Do not pour hot coffee over ice because it will give you weak and watered-down coffee that isn’t very cold.
Add sugar to the coffee when it is hot because it will not dissolve properly in cold water.
