Thai Iced Coffee

I have made the switch from hot beverages to cool beverages.  Kinda like switching off the heater and turning on the air conditioner.    The other day I was in the mood for some good iced coffee.  I  found a recipe from Williams- Sonoma for Thai Iced Coffee. The recipe called for sweetened condensed milk,  I had to try it.    In this recipe you  grind the coffee beans with  cardamom pods  then brew the coffee.  Caution:  You are brewing very strong coffee.   The recipe stated to add 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk per glass of coffee but I added a little more.  The coffee was tasty and refreshing but a little too strong for my taste.   Next time I make it, I will not use a dark roast, I'll  use a lighter one.   I did love the flavor the cardamom gave the coffee.
