Want high-quality iced coffee in minutes? This method makes it happen by brewing coffee right over the ice. I make mine even simpler by placing a pour-over cone right over a big mason jar. Just add cream, plop in a straw, and morning's made!

Ingredients
1/4 cup ground coffee beans (1 ounce/30 grams. I like a darker roast)
1 cup ice cubes (8 oz./230 g., plus more for serving)
1 cup water (8 oz./230 g.)
Steps
Fill the mason jar or carafe with the 2 cups/8 oz./230 g. ice.
Set a filter in the brewer, set it over the mason jar (if using) for brewing, and add the coffee grounds.
Bring the water to a boil. Slowly pour just a bit of the water over the grounds - just enough to cause the coffee to expand (also known as "blooming"). Once all of that water has dripped through, slowly pour about half of the remaining water over the top. When that has finished dripping through, slowly pour the remaining water over the top. Let drain completely.
If using a mason jar, remove the drip brewer. If using a carafe, remove the filter and grounds then pour into a glass. Add ice, cream, and/or sugar if desired. Add additional ice, cream, and/or sugar if desired and stir. Serve immediately.
