Cold Brewed Iced Coffee

It's been a couple years since I've started making iced coffee.  The truth is, this is my favorite way to drink coffee.  This recipe is adapted from one I found on pinterest.  Typically, I don't like sweetened coffee, but this cup is served best with a little milk and the little bit of sugar goes a long way.  You'll need a french press some means of filtering the coffee after it has finished the cold brew.  This is what we use: http://bodum.bodum.com/us/en-us/shop/detail/K11081-01/

Ingredients

1 1/4 C. Coarsely Ground Coffee (French Press or Percolator setting)
1/2 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
2 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
Cold Water (I just fill to the top of the french press, but I am assuming it would be somewhere around 40 oz)

Instructions

Guys, this is a really complicated process.
Place ground coffee in the bottom of the coffee press.  Add cinnamon, brown sugar and water.  Stir with wooden or plastic spoon (according to Bodum - do not use metal).
Place flat cover on (or cover with plunger kept up) and set on counter to brew for 4 hours (8 hours in fridge).
Press the plunger down.
Get a glass with ice (preferably something cute), pour coffee over leaving room for cream.  Add milk or cream.  Enjoy.
Store coffee in the refrigerator.
