First make your cold-brewed coffee concentrate - the only way to make it, a gallon lasts me a week

dump a pound of grounds in a large container, add water and leave in the fridge overnight, strain it and save it

then use your blender, an 8 oz glass of your coffee, add ice, a little sugar, milk or half&half and/or sweetened condensed milk/chocolate syrup if you like -takes me 2 minutes to make a fresh pitcher

adjust the ingredients to your liking, I'm having some now - no bitterness, just smooth icy lava coffee goodness!
