Stay chilled with ice coffee perfection

What is cold coffee?

There are two ways of making iced coffee: using the Cold Brew or Cold Drip methods. Cold drip is a little more complicated to make as it requires a particular apparatus called a brew tower, and you have to drip cold water slowly onto a even bed of freshly-ground coffee which very slowly ends up in the jug at the bottom. You have to be fairly committed to the process and plan well ahead as it can take up to 12 hours to complete.

Cold brew coffee on the other hand is a lot more straightforward and is nothing more than freshly-ground coffee steeped with cold water and then filtered. Once again, it’s not a fast process and can take anywhere from four hours to a few days for your drink to be ready, but it’s well worth the wait!

Keeping our feet on the ground, there’s the classic latte, made from chilled coffee which in the majority of cases is nothing more than hot brewed coffee such as espresso, which is then cooled in a refrigerator. The classic latte is simply chilled coffee added to ice cold milk.

We couldn’t talk about iced coffees without mentioning the much-loved frappe, which is made by adding mixing milky coffee with crushed ice, ice cream or flavoured syrup.
