Make a simple syrup, 1 part water to 1 part sugar: Heat on the stove to dissolve every bit of the sugar. Cool and keep this on hand for sweetening you iced coffee or iced tea.

Brew your coffee double strength so that when you sweeten with the syrup, you won't wind up with diluted coffee. This also compensates for any melting ice and added milk. (Of course, let the coffee cool before mixing.)

There's my tip for the day.

ETA: After researching cold brew coffee, that seems like the way to go. It comes out as a concentrate, presumably perfect for adding ice, milk and syrup.

A cold brew system should definitely cost less than $30 and last for life. The filters are the only thing that needs to be replaced every couple of years. The coffee is far less acidic than any other method, and is good for cold or hot usage. Freeze the filter between uses in a plastic bag and thaw.
