Cold Brewed Coffee

I am a huge fan of those overpriced iced coffee drinks that are usually full of sugar and fat, but not a fan of the 5 dollar price tag.  A few weeks ago I ordered a skinny one from Starbucks and I swear it came in a child size cup and they charged me fifty extra cents for soy milk making it five dollars and fifty cents.  I drank it in three drinks and swore never again.  I had tried before to make them myself and while they tasted good they weren't coffee shop good.  Then I stumbled across the directions for cold brewing coffee at SmittenKitchen.  I tried it the next night, brewing 1/3 cup of coffee with 1 1/2 cups cold water in a bowl overnight or twelve hours.  I honestly didn't think it would make that big of a difference.  The next morning I sifted it through a coffee filter,  fixed two glasses up half coffee, half cold milk, some ice cubes and in mine a little stevia and a shot of sugar free chocolate syrup.  I added a straw, since I wanted to feel like it was coffees shop like.  I took a sip and oh, my, goodness.  Heaven.  It tasted just like the coffee shop I literally drank it all before I had a chance to snap a photo.  The husband enjoyed his also and we did it again the next night.  I am going to be brewing my coffee every night like this so I can have my delicious sugar free, fat free coffee drink.  Next i am going to try the cinnamon version and I'm going to be on the lookout for a sugar free caramel syrup.  If you love iced coffee you have to try this.
