As the weather warms up, the drinks cool down. Many people still want to enjoy their coffee, but not when it is piping hot on an already hot day. So, it makes perfect sense to make the seasonal switch to iced coffee. Iced coffee can be quite refreshing on a warm day.
To put together the perfect iced coffee, first brew your coffee hot. Be certain to use fresh coffee beans and grind them just before use. Brew stronger coffee than usual because after ice is added, the coffee becomes diluted. The strength of the coffee can be affected by the amount of coffee grounds brewed per cup of water. Sugar or powdered creamer can be added while the coffee is hot, if you wish. One will find that these additives dissolve better in the hot liquid, prior to the coffee cooling down. Then, one should dispense the coffee into a carafe. Permit the coffee to cool down for about an hour to room temperature. After this, transfer the coffee carafe to the refrigerator and cool for two hours until the coffee becomes completely chilled. Fill a glass with ice, then pour cooled coffee over the top. Add liquid cream or mild as desired. Blend the contents thoroughly and enjoy.
A different hot brewed method is to make a blended iced coffee. In order to do this, combine crushed ice in a blender; combine with one cup of coffee which has been freshly brewed then top with cup of milk. Blend contents in blender until large ice pieces are blended thoroughly. At this point in time, add some sugar to taste. Or, if preferred, add flavored creamers or flavoring syrups. Continue blending ingredients.
Cold brewed iced coffee is another method of preparation. Iced coffee prepared in this way should have 67% less acidity than coffee brewed hot. This brewing method involves a pound of coarsely ground coffee. People generally prefer the taste of a full bodied, darker roast when using this method. Pour nine cups of cold water into a pitcher. Let this steep for a minimum of twelve hours in a cool. Separate coffee grounds and water by scooping them from the top or by putting a coffee filter inside a sieve and pouring the fluid through. The remaining liquid is a concentrated coffee. Pour a mixture of one part coffee concentrate into a glass and three parts cold milk or water. Add sugar or flavoring of choice.
Once your ice coffee is prepared, it can be flavored any way. Aside from the typical cream and sugar, a variety of flavored syrups can be added to the coffee. For those who prefer their coffee black, try different coffee bean varieties to differ the taste.
