Ingredients

22 grams good quality medium roast coffee beans (light or medium roast)
¼ cup Natural Bliss Caramel Creamer (or favorite creamer)
1⅓ cups Whole milk (or favorite milk)

Instructions

Using a coffee or kitchen scale, measure out 22 grams of coffee beans. Spray the beans lightly with a small spray bottle filled with water. Set the grind setting to fine but not quite as fine as espresso, then grind the beans.
Add coffee to the Moka Pot basket and distribute evenly with the WDT tool. Do not pack it down.
Add enough boiling water to the Moka pot base to reach just below the safety valve. Place the coffee-filled basket over the base, and screw the carafe into place. You may need to use a kitchen towel because the base will be hot.
Move Moka pot onto the stove and set to very low heat. Lift the carafe lid to see when the coffee begins to pour out of the column opening. If you wish, set a timer. It should take approximately 5 minutes for the coffee to begin spilling into the carafe.
Once the coffee begins to fill the carafe, watch it carefully and pull it off the heat as soon as it starts to bubble out aggressively (see video). Close the lid and don't forget to turn off the stove.
Quickly take the Moka pot (without agitating it) over to the sink and run the base under cold running water to stop the brewing process. Do this for approximately 30 seconds.
Get two tall glasses and fill each halfway with ice. Divide the coffee equally between the two glasses, pouring back and forth. Next, add approximately ⅔ cup of whole milk to each glass and 2 to 3 tablespoons of sweetened Natural Bliss Caramel Coffee Creamer, or your favorite flavor. Stir before serving. Top with more ice if needed.

Notes

Purchase coffee with a roast date instead of an expiration date. Ideally, the coffee should have been roasted within the last two weeks or so.
Use fresh, filtered water, whenever possible.
Buy your coffee beans from a local coffee roaster and choose a light or medium roast coffee. Dark roast does not taste as good because the characteristics that made that coffee unique are lost once the coffee has roasted that dark.
If you prefer your Iced Coffee stronger, add ice last so that it does not melt when you pour the hot coffee over it or allow the coffee to cool off before adding it to the ice.
