  1. 1 Mix 6 cups water and coffee in a 1/2-gallon jar (such as Ball) until grounds are completely saturated. Steep for 24 hours at room temperature, stirring occasionally.
  2. 2 Transfer coffee to the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour.

Drain the remaining liquid 1 cup at a time, using a new coffee filter each time. Repeat the process with the grounds, filtering 1 cup at a time; squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Refrigerate the concentrate until ready to use.
  5. 5 Combine concentrate, 1% milk, and condensed milk in a 1/2-gallon jar.
  6. 6 Dissolve 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar and cocoa powder together in a bowl of hot tap water. Add to the coffee-milk mixture; cover the jar and shake well.
