I don’t like any ice watering it down. I usually make pour overs, my current beans pictured.

A single serving method (from James Hoffman YT channel) I use is:
16g coffee 150g water 100g ice
I make the hot coffee using the above 16g coffee and 150g water. My brew time is four minutes. Then, I pour that hot coffee over the ice and stir until the ice cubes are melted.
Have you tried freezing extra/left over coffee in an ice tray and using those to chill your coffee?
Whiskey stones. Get solid stones or stainless steel ones. Ideally don’t get any with liquid cores.
I double the amount of coffee I’d normally put in my French press, and then let it cool on the counter for a few hours.
I then fill 2 bottles half way with coffee and leave in the fridge over night. In the morning I top them up with ice and a little oat milk.
It starts off a little strong, but will taper down as the morning progresses and the ice melts.
Iced Mocha Madness: just add a meal replacement shake for those days when you don’t have time to eat.
You might try the Toddy cold brew method. You take like a pound of beans, grind them up and soak in like a gallon of water that slow filters through a special filter they sell (reusable for 10 uses). Then you keep it in the fridge until you use it. It’s a more mellow, less acidic brew in general.
