If you drink a lot of iced coffee, you should consider making a batch of coffee ice cubes. Doing so can not only help avoid water dilution from conventional ice, but can also strengthen your drink if you've added too much milk.


MarthaStewart.com puts it this way:

The first sip is just right, but by the time you get to the bottom of a long, cool glass of iced coffee, you're drinking a watery shadow of your former beverage. If the ice is made from coffee, it won't dilute your drink as it melts. Freeze hot coffee (or tea, if you prefer) in an ice-cube tray, then use the cubes to cool your brew.


Store your frozen coffee or tea cubes in a ziplock bag and make sure you wash your ice tray thoroughly before using with regular water. Photo by Ren Kuo.
