Make Iced Coffee at home


iced coffee recipe

Making iced coffee is not simply by giving hot coffee with ice,it will not only dilute the coffee, but can make it bitter, as well. Cold brewed method is used for making iced coffe, like a fancy barista doing, but couldn't be easier. Cold brewing reduces the acidity of coffee, which in turn enhances its sweetness and other complex flavor notes.  A cup of cool iced coffee is delicious on hot summer days when you want a coffee fix without the heat or an expensive trip to a coffee shop for an iced mocha. And you can just pull it out of your fridge and have a delicious cup of coffee in no time.

If you love yourself a cold brew coffee, try this recipe out. It's super simple, the secret to the best coffee is to eliminate heat from the process altogether. The cold coffee is stronger, less bitter and less acidic than drip coffee. Pour 8 quarts of water over a pound of coffee, stir, cover and forget about it for eight hours. Then pour the mixture into another container through a mesh strainer layered with cheese cloths. Use the top of a spoon to press out as much liquid as possible from the cheesecloth and let it drip down into your container. 

Refrigerate and enjoy.
