cold brewed iced coffee

so a few weeks back i found this recipe for something called cold brewed iced coffee...basically coffee brewed all night in cold water...
now me being the coffee fan that i am...couldn't resist, but with restrictions because of Myka's diet, i used decaf and it was extremely mild...still a surprisingly good treat, and very different then the normal iced coffee...
so i thought i'd pass it on. let me know what you think.

Recipe: Cold-Brewed ICED COFFEE
Time: 5 minutes, plus 12 hours' resting

1/3 cup ground coffee (medium-coarse grind is best) Milk (optional).

1. In a jar, stir together coffee and 1 1/2 cups water. Cover and let rest at room temperature overnight or 12 hours.
2. Strain twice through a coffee filter, a fine-mesh sieve or a sieve lined with cheesecloth. In a tall glass filled with ice, mix equal parts coffee concentrate and water, or to taste. If desired, add milk.

Yield: Two drinks.

and i strained it in my french press, and it worked fine.
