Iced Coffee
A refreshing and energizing beverage, iced coffee is a simple yet satisfying way to enjoy coffee chilled, often customized with milk, cream, or sweeteners to personal preference.
Brew and chill coffee
Brew a strong batch of your favorite coffee and allow it to cool completely. For best results, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours or overnight. Alternatively, use cold brew concentrate.
💡 Tips:
- •Brewing coffee strong accounts for dilution from ice. Cold brew offers a smoother, less acidic flavor.
Prepare glass with ice
Fill a tall glass generously with 1 serving of ice.
💡 Tips:
- •Use enough ice to keep the drink cold without quickly watering it down.
Combine coffee and optional sweeteners
Pour 8 ounces (240 ml) of chilled brewed coffee over the ice. If desired, add 1-2 tablespoons of simple syrup or your preferred sweetener now.
💡 Tips:
- •Liquid sweeteners mix more easily into cold drinks. Adjust sweetness to taste.
Add milk/cream and garnish (optional)
Stir gently to combine. If desired, add 2 ounces (60 ml) of milk or cream to taste. Stir again. Optionally, top with whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
💡 Tips:
- •Add milk last for a layered effect, or mix in for uniformity.
- 💡For a less diluted taste, use coffee ice cubes.
- 💡Experiment with different coffee roasts and origins to find your preferred flavor profile.
- 💡Flavor your simple syrup with vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut for a flavored iced coffee.
- 💡Add a pinch of salt to enhance coffee flavor and cut bitterness.
