7 tips for making great iced coffee
Summer is finally here and most days are too warm for a hot cup of Java juice. Here are some tips to help you create great iced coffee.
1. Start with fresh coffee beans. This great iced coffee was never made with old beans, so avoid buying your beans at a discount. If you don't drink iced coffee often, consider purchasing freshly brewed beans from the coffee shop as you can buy just as much as you need for the occasion.
2. Test the taste. Hot coffee tastes different from cold coffee. To get a cool idea of how your coffee tastes, let the hot cup cool to room temperature. This little test will help you determine your ideal tastes.
3. Use fresh ice. Snow tends to be old if it has been unused in the freezer for a long time. If you're wondering if ice helps harm your iced coffee, it's easy to test: let some of the cubes melt and reach room temperature, then taste the resulting water. If it is from the water you want to drink from the glass then you are in good shape. If not, throw out the old snow and keep it fresh. If it still tastes old, buy a bag of ice, the cost is well worth the flavor increase.
4. Soak it vigorously. Boil your coffee on the strong side as the ice will weaken it. To prevent your drink from diluting, try turning the remaining coffee into ice cubes. Use them in place of regular ice cubes to keep your drink cool.
5. Try a cold drink. Some people object to the acidity in cold coffee. Cold brewing significantly reduces the acidic content of the coffee (with the same coffee you will lower the pH by one full pH versus the hot brew). Put 3/4 cup of ground coffee in a mason jar, fill it with water and stir. Cover and put in the refrigerator for 12 hours. Strain the resulting center through a coffee filter to remove ground. Add water to taste when you are ready to drink. You can even heat the reconstituted drink for a fast, low-acid cup of hot coffee.
6. Saving leftover coffee for iced drinks is often fine, but don't be tempted to use the dregs of a burnt pot. If it doesn't taste good spicy, it definitely won't taste cold.
7. Adding fruits like strawberries, oranges, blueberries, or even cherries, and spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, or cardamom are a great way to spice up your drink and your day. The important thing is to enjoy it! Try a lot of new things. Change your regular routine. The worst that can happen is that you will not love him. You can always try something else!
