coffee seems like a good topic...

I'm the only member of my household that drinks coffee. I have a 12 cup coffee pot...it was a well-intentioned gift. After receiving this coffee-pot-gift roughly 6 years ago, I quickly learned how to use it to make 4 to 6 cups at a time, since 12 cups is a little too much for one man. But lately, I've been making a full pot, drinking one or two cups, and refrigerating the rest. I've been drinking the cold coffee mixed one to one with milk, and it's not too bad. I've experimented a little with the amount of milk and with adding a little sugar (brown and/or white), but I haven't got it quite right yet. I'm a big fan of the canned coffee drinks that are available in most oriental-type food stores, and bigger grocery stores with a good 'ethnic' (whatever that means) section, but I haven't been too successful at matching the tastes with the homebrew. Is there anyone reading this that shares in the enjoyment of cold coffee? Any ingredient suggestions to get my flavour right??

I tried adding some Ghirardelli hot chocolate powder to the milk and blending it up a bit, and then adding the cold coffee. Not bad, but still something missing. I'm going to try the sweetened condensed milk this week, it sounds sweet and tasty...
