Stunning photos! And I love all kind of coffee drink, so this is so going to happen soon. I am thinking of doubling the brew coffee part, make one part into coffee ice cubes, and use that instead of plain water ice cubes to make one epic coffee drink! 🙂

This sounds absolutely delicious! I need to get my hands on an American Press! I am an avid tea drinker too (always using loose leaf too) so this would work for tea as well!

What a great iced coffee this recipe made. It was delicious and had a deep chocolate flavor. I used Starbuck's bold french roast, it worked beautifully in this treat. I did add two pinches of fine sea salt to the chocolate syrup (personal preference only) and garnished with whipped cream and chocolate syrup. Thank you for sharing a recipe that I will enjoy again.
