Japanese Iced Coffee

Inspired by Japanese style iced coffee, which utilizes a hot brew method (instead of brewing coffee hours before and letting it sit), this recipe doesn't require all the fancy coffee gizmos not everyone has, and it yields a great cup of iced coffee. The recipe, developed by Josip Drazenovich of iconic New York coffee roaster Dallis Bros. Coffee, is a really easy recipe for a home brewer to make in the comfort of his or her own kitchen.
