I am drinking an iced coffee at the moment...love it! I make a large pot of coffee, on the strong side, in the evening...come morning, it is cooled and I transfer it to the fridge of pour it over ice...although I normally make a cafe con leche for my morning cup.
When I was in Peru, the owner of the B&B that we stayed at would make, what she termed as coffee "syrup". She didn't speak English and I don't speak very much Spanish but it was a concentrated, brewed coffee. One would pour themselves a cup of hot water and then add some this "syrup" (a non sweetened, coffee concentrate) to the water and you would have a cup of coffee. She showed me the pot that she used to brew it... I am sure this could be used for iced coffee as well but I don't have one of those pots nor do I know what she used to make it.
An espresso maker might be an alternative. Make espresso, dilute with cold water and ice. I will have to try that and let you know how it is.
If you have any further info on this cold technique, I would be interested in hearing about it.
