2 Method

Step 1. Brew a double-strength batch of coffee by using the measured coffee grounds and filtered water in your preferred drip or pour-over machine.

Step 2. Once brewed, transfer the hot coffee to a heat-safe pitcher and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Step 3. For the best flavor, place the pitcher in the refrigerator for an additional 20 minutes to chill thoroughly.

Step 4. Fill two tall glasses to the brim with fresh ice cubes.

Step 5. Pour the chilled coffee over the ice, leaving about an inch of space at the top of each glass.

Step 6. Add your preferred sweetener and stir until completely incorporated.

Step 7. Top with a generous splash of milk or cream, stir gently to create a marbled effect, and serve immediately.

·
Freeze leftover coffee in ice cube trays to make coffee ice cubes; this prevents your drink from becoming watered down as the ice melts.
·
Always use filtered water to ensure the cleanest coffee flavor without any mineral aftertaste.
·
If you prefer a less acidic taste, try making this recipe using a cold-brew concentrate instead of hot-brewed coffee.

? FAQ

Can I use instant coffee for this recipe?

Yes! Dissolve 2 tablespoons of instant coffee in 1 cup of hot water, then allow it to cool before pouring over ice.

How long can I store the brewed coffee in the fridge?

You can store the black, brewed coffee in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Only add ice and milk when you are ready to serve.

What is the best roast for iced coffee?

Medium to dark roasts are ideal because their robust flavors stand up better to the dilution from melting ice and the addition of milk.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Absolutely. Simply replace the whole milk or cream with your favorite plant-based alternative, such as oat milk, almond milk, or coconut milk.
