The cold brew coffee from Dunkin Donuts is one of my favorite iced coffees of all time, and I find myself ordering it almost every time I pass a Dunkin Donuts. That’s why I decided to make my own version. It’s as rich and delicious as the original, and I can enjoy it whenever I get the itch for a tall glass of iced coffee goodness.

This rich iced coffee starts with freshly ground coffee. I mix the coffee with cold filtered water and let it sit in the fridge for 24 hours. Then, I strain it and serve it over ice. That’s all there is to it! You can serve it plain or add your favorite syrup or creamer to make it as sweet as you like!
