If you don’t want to hit Starbucks every time you crave a cup of iced coffee, making your own is always an option, and these tips will help you do it the right way.

Fresh Beans

Your iced coffee will taste much better if you make it with fresh beans. If you want to go all-in when making this beverage, put an effort into finding beans that work best for you. Take some time to master the art of grinding your coffee beans evenly, and you’ll be wowed by the final product.

Coffee-Water Ratio

Your coffee, both iced and warm, won’t taste good if you don’t get the coffee to water ratio right. Aiming for a 1:4 to 1:8 range is your best, but it takes some time to figure this out because it all comes down to personal preference.

Coffee Cubes

Most people use ice cubes to keep their iced coffee cold for longer, but they may end up diluting the taste of your favorite beverage. To avoid this common problem, pour some coffee into your ice cube tray and use coffee ice cubes instead of regular ones.

]]> Cold-brew and iced coffee—what’s the difference? They’re both cold drinks and they look the same, but cold brew costs much more—what gives? Which one should you order at your coffee shop? Here’s everything you need to know about both drinks so you end up getting the one you want.

Brewing Method

The type of roast varies from cafe to cafe for both drinks, but the difference comes down to the brewing method. Iced coffee is usually made by brewing coffee with hot water and then it’s cooled down by pouring it over ice. Cold-brew takes longer to brew because it immerses the coffee grounds with room temperature water over long periods of time. In some cases, it’s up to 24 hours.

Taste

Cold-brew and iced coffee taste very different due to the brewing methods. Iced coffee is often more bitter and cold brew is sweeter with a thicker, creamier texture.

Caffiene

Even though they’re brewed differently, iced coffee and cold brew don’t differ in caffeine content. The caffeine depends on the amount of coffee used in the brew and varies based on the cafe’s recipe. But, many times, coffee shops will make the cold brew have more caffeine.

]]> When it comes to cocktails and other iced drinks, ice content has a larger effect than you may realize. As the ice melts it dilutes your drink, affecting the taste as you drink it. The shape and texture of ice also have an effect on the experience of drinking, whether you’re chewing up the ice as it melts or simply sipping from the rim of the glass as the ice clinks inside. Here are some different kinds of ice for different types of drinks.

Big Blocks

Big blocks of ice fit one or two to a cup depending on the size of the drink. These are the slowest to melt, so they are the best for when you want to minimize dilution. You’ve probably seen them at bars or on TV in glasses of nice sipping whiskey or other spirits, and indeed this is how they are most often used. But they are also a great option if you are drinking cold-brewed coffee or tea which isn’t very strong, and you want to keep your brew from losing flavor for as long as possible.

Crushed or Pebble

Crushed or pebble ice is best for syrupy drinks, as the ice will soak up the flavor and will dilute faster to dampen the sweetness. Drinks like a mint julep or a heavily-flavored coffee drink are two examples. Think of a snow cone soaking up the flavor and color of whatever you pour on it. This is also the best ice for drinking in hot weather.

Standard

The standard one-inch ice cube is always the best option when you’re in doubt of what ice to use. It’s the most easily available, the standardized cubes mean you can control dilution more easily, and it will fit into any cup you’re using. This is a great option for regular cold brew, iced tea, or a shaken cocktail.

]]> If you have ever gone out to eat at a Vietnamese restaurant, you may have noticed something curious called “Vietnamese coffee” on the drink menu.

Vietnamese coffee is a beloved drink that comes from Southeast Asia and is widely regarded as one of the most delicious and interesting ways to enjoy coffee on the planet.

So, what is Vietnamese coffee, and what makes it special?

French priests introduced the coffee plant to the country in the mid-19th century, and Vietnam quickly became a giant of the production of the robusta form of coffee, which is stronger and more bitter than the more widely-consumed arabica variety.

In order to combat the bitter and strong taste of the country’s coffee, a fantastic creation was made.

The coffee, which is always brewed through a small, manual drip filter, is combined with sweetened and condensed milk in order to make a sweet and strong beverage. Sweetened condensed milk is the natural choice in Vietnam because of the difficulty of finding fresh milk, and it just happens to work out perfectly based on the characteristics of the region’s coffee.

The drink is either enjoyed hot or immediately poured into a glass with ice in order to drink while cold. Doesn’t it sound delicious?

]]> When the weather is warm and you just don’t want to drink a hot cup of coffee, cold brew is the perfect option to give you the coffee taste and the caffeine boost that you want.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzt0hE4Hlgi/

While most of us opt to go to a coffee shop that has pre-made cold brew ready for us to order, it’s actually super simple to make this refreshing drink at home! Here’s how.

What You’ll Need

  • Cold Water
  • Coarsely-ground coffee
  • A container
  • Cheesecloth

Instructions

To start off, you’ll want to use one ounce of coarsely-ground coffee beans for every cup (8 oz) of water that you use. So, if you want to make a quart (64 oz) of cold brew, you’ll have to use four ounces of coffee!

Start off by taking a recipient that’s large enough for the quantity of cold brew that you’re going to make and pouring in the cold water. Next, you’ll want to add in the coarsely ground coffee beans and stir.

You’ll then cover the recipient with cheesecloth, using a rubber band to secure it along the edges of the opening. Put the recipient in the refrigerator for 12 hours to let the cold brew “steep.”

Finally, after 12 hours, take out the recipient. Use the cheesecloth that was covering the opening to strain the cold brew coffee from the grounds that have been created, placing another container under the flow of the coffee.

That’s it! Your cold brew is ready to drink. Keep it cold in the fridge, and enjoy!

]]> Iced coffee is one of the most popular summer treats that you’ll find in glasses around the world this summer. Providing a caffeine kick and a cool, refreshing twist on a classic hot drink, iced coffee is sure to be something you’ll enjoy if you’re into normal coffee.

Here are three ways to put your own unique twist on this delicious beverage and break the iced coffee monotony.

Turn it into Mocha

Adding chocolate to your iced coffee will turn it into a mocha-like treat. You can try adding a dose of chocolate syrup or even a blend of sugar and cocoa powder in order to turn it sweet and rich, almost like a caffeine-infused dessert!

Try Adding a Syrup

The number of syrups that can be added to iced coffees are endless. As you probably know, various companies such as Monin produce flavors such as caramel, raspberry, and lavender which taste absolutely incredible when added (in moderation!) to your class of iced coffee.

Add Alcohol

If you’re looking to spice up the party, it’s definitely possible to add alcohol into your iced coffee to make it into a sort of cocktail! Great mixers for iced coffee include Bailey’s, orange liquor, or even Kahlua!

Stephan is definitely against spending $5 on a latte every day, but he’s got a handy alternative by his side whenever he films. After many requests to show how he makes his famous $0.2 coffee that he always mentions in videos, he finally filmed the video.

Coffee ice cubes are an ingenious addition to cold coffee beverages that allows them to retain their coffee essence. Normal ice cubes made of water often dilute and make the beverage unenjoyable and watery.

These little miracle blocks couldn’t be any simpler to make. All you have to do is brew coffee in your preferred way and then fill an ice cube tray with the coffee. Once it is ready, put the ice cube tray filled with coffee into the freezer and wait for them to freeze.

After the coffee ice cubes are frozen, you can use them to add to any of your favorite cold beverages. The most popular way to enjoy coffee ice cubes is simply inside of a glass of iced coffee.

Some people, however, are even more creative. Adding coffee ice cubes to a glass of milk allows the ice cubes to turn the milk into a coffee-y, rich beverage as they melt. Yum!

When the temperature rises, give coffee ice cubes a try as a way to maintain the essence of your favorite cold coffee drinks.

]]> If you have ever gone out to eat at a Vietnamese restaurant, you may have noticed something curious called “Vietnamese coffee” on the drink menu.

Vietnamese coffee is a beloved drink that comes from Southeast Asia and is widely regarded as one of the most delicious and interesting ways to enjoy coffee on the planet.

So, what is Vietnamese coffee, and what makes it special?

French priests introduced the coffee plant to the country in the mid-19th century, and Vietnam quickly became a giant of the production of the robusta form of coffee, which is stronger and more bitter than the more widely-consumed arabica variety.

In order to combat the bitter and strong taste of the country’s coffee, a fantastic creation was made.

The coffee, which is always brewed through a small, manual drip filter, is combined with sweetened and condensed milk in order to make a sweet and strong beverage. Sweetened condensed milk is the natural choice in Vietnam because of the difficulty of finding fresh milk, and it just happens to work out perfectly based on the characteristics of the region’s coffee.

The drink is either enjoyed hot or immediately poured into a glass with ice in order to drink while cold. Doesn’t it sound delicious?

While most of us opt to go to a coffee shop that has pre-made cold brew ready for us to order, it’s actually super simple to make this refreshing drink at home! Here’s how.

What You’ll Need

  • Cold Water
  • Coarsely-ground coffee
  • A container
  • Cheesecloth

Instructions

To start off, you’ll want to use one ounce of coarsely-ground coffee beans for every cup (8 oz) of water that you use. So, if you want to make a quart (64 oz) of cold brew, you’ll have to use four ounces of coffee!

Start off by taking a recipient that’s large enough for the quantity of cold brew that you’re going to make and pouring in the cold water. Next, you’ll want to add in the coarsely ground coffee beans and stir.

You’ll then cover the recipient with cheesecloth, using a rubber band to secure it along the edges of the opening. Put the recipient in the refrigerator for 12 hours to let the cold brew “steep.”

Finally, after 12 hours, take out the recipient. Use the cheesecloth that was covering the opening to strain the cold brew coffee from the grounds that have been created, placing another container under the flow of the coffee.

That’s it! Your cold brew is ready to drink. Keep it cold in the fridge, and enjoy!

]]> Iced coffee is one of the most popular summer treats that you’ll find in glasses around the world this summer. Providing a caffeine kick and a cool, refreshing twist on a classic hot drink, iced coffee is sure to be something you’ll enjoy if you’re into normal coffee.

Here are three ways to put your own unique twist on this delicious beverage and break the iced coffee monotony.

Turn it into Mocha

Adding chocolate to your iced coffee will turn it into a mocha-like treat. You can try adding a dose of chocolate syrup or even a blend of sugar and cocoa powder in order to turn it sweet and rich, almost like a caffeine-infused dessert!

Try Adding a Syrup

The number of syrups that can be added to iced coffees are endless. As you probably know, various companies such as Monin produce flavors such as caramel, raspberry, and lavender which taste absolutely incredible when added (in moderation!) to your class of iced coffee.

Add Alcohol

If you’re looking to spice up the party, it’s definitely possible to add alcohol into your iced coffee to make it into a sort of cocktail! Great mixers for iced coffee include Bailey’s, orange liquor, or even Kahlua!

In his videos, he often references two thinks that many financial experts advise us to cut off if we want to save money – coffee and avocado toast. Stephan is definitely against spending $5 on a latte every day, but he’s got a handy alternative by his side whenever he films. After many requests to show how he makes his famous $0.2 coffee that he always mentions in videos, he finally filmed the video. A few weeks later, he answered another popular fan request and posted a video showing how to make an avocado toast that won’t cost you more than $0.90. See both videos below.

Coffee ice cubes are an ingenious addition to cold coffee beverages that allows them to retain their coffee essence. Normal ice cubes made of water often dilute and make the beverage unenjoyable and watery.

These little miracle blocks couldn’t be any simpler to make. All you have to do is brew coffee in your preferred way and then fill an ice cube tray with the coffee. Once it is ready, put the ice cube tray filled with coffee into the freezer and wait for them to freeze.

After the coffee ice cubes are frozen, you can use them to add to any of your favorite cold beverages. The most popular way to enjoy coffee ice cubes is simply inside of a glass of iced coffee.

Some people, however, are even more creative. Adding coffee ice cubes to a glass of milk allows the ice cubes to turn the milk into a coffee-y, rich beverage as they melt. Yum!

When the temperature rises, give coffee ice cubes a try as a way to maintain the essence of your favorite cold coffee drinks.
