How to Make Iced Coffee

There are a few different ways to make iced coffee, but we think the best method is using the cold brew method. This method takes a little bit longer than other methods, but it's worth it for the rich, smooth flavour it produces. Plus, it's very easy to do!

Here's how to make iced coffee using the cold brew method:

1. Combine ground coffee and water in a ratio of 1:8 (1 part coffee to 8 parts water). We recommend using coarsely ground coffee for the best results.
2. Stir the mixture until the grounds are fully saturated, then cover and let it sit overnight (or for at least 12 hours).
3. After the waiting period, strain the mixture using a cheesecloth or coffee filter.
4. Pour the coffee concentrate into a clean container and store it in the fridge. It will keep for up to two weeks.
5. When ready to make your iced coffee, combine 1 part coffee concentrate with 1 part water (or milk, if desired). Serve over ice, and enjoy!

Now that you know how to make iced coffee, it's time to get creative with your recipes! There are endless possibilities when it comes to iced coffee drinks, so feel free to experiment until you find a combination you love.

Here are a few recipes to get you started:

• Classic iced coffee: Combine 1 part coffee concentrate with 1 part water (or milk) and serve over ice.
• Iced latte: Combine 1 part coffee concentrate with 1 part milk and 1/2 part foam. Serve over ice and top with whipped cream, if desired.
• Iced mocha: Combine 1 part coffee concentrate with 1 part milk, 1/2 part chocolate syrup, and 1/4 part whipped cream. Serve over ice.

Tips for Making Iced Coffee

Here are a few tips to help you make the perfect iced coffee drink:

• Use cold or room-temperature water for the best results. Hot water will produce a more bitter coffee concentrate.
• Steeping for a longer period of time will result in a more robust coffee flavour. If you want a weaker drink, reduce the steeping time accordingly.
• Be sure to use a cheesecloth or coffee filter to strain the grounds from the coffee concentrate. Otherwise, your drink will be gritty.
• Iced coffee concentrate can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks. Then, when you're ready to use it, just mix it with an equal part of water (or milk).
• Add your favourite flavourings, such as syrups, milk, or whipped cream, to create a custom iced coffee drink.

Do you want to make your iced coffee drinks more interesting? Try using flavoured syrups, such as vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut. You can also add fruit juices or other types of milk, such as almond or oat milk.

A tasty, sweet and refreshing option is the Coffee Lemonade: a mix of cold-brewed coffee, lemon juice, sugar and water.

For this recipe, you will need:

- 1 cup cold brew coffee concentrate

- 3/4 cup of water

- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

- 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar - start with less and add more to taste

- ice

Instructions:

1. In a pitcher, combine cold brew coffee concentrate, water, lemon juice and sugar.
2. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Add ice and serve immediately.
