Easy New Orleans Iced Coffee Concentrate recipe

You need:

1 lb coffee and chicory
10 cups cool, clear water
a big ol’ bowl (no-reactive)
something to strain with
mason jars or pitcher

How to do it:
1. pour coffee into bowl
2. add two cups of water over coffee; mix until coffee is wet
3. add eight cups of water gently, so as not to disturb the coffee too much
4. cover and let sit for 12 hours
5. strain resultant mixture at least twice to get out all the grit; pour into mason jars and refrigerate

To make coffee:
Use a ratio of 1 part coffee to 3 parts milk or water. You can heat it up, but I like it iced, dude.
