Delicious Iced Coffee Every Time!

More and more people are trying Iced Coffee as a quick afternoon pick-me-up. According to the National Coffee Association, more than 41 million Americans switch to Iced Coffee during the spring and summer months.

Directions:

The secret to making great tasting Iced Coffee lies in this formula. Double the coffee to water ratio and pour the hot coffee over a container that will hold a little more liquid than you used to brew. That container needs to be filled completely with ice.

You can achieve this Ice Coffee Ratio in one of two ways:

  1. Use the same amount of coffee you use when making it hot and use only half the water you typically would.
  2. Or you can double the amount of coffee and use the same amount of water you typically would.

Results:

Either way will result in a smooth, rich taste sensation – Perfect Iced Coffee that is never bitter or watered down. You can use REGULAR, DECAF and even Flavored Coffees, with this recipe.

** Remember you can refrigerate any leftover black iced coffee in a sealed container for up to one week. **

Iced Mocha with Coffee Cubes

An iced mocha made with coffee ice cubes

Servings: 1-2 drinks

Ingredients:

  • 6 oz coffee
  • 4 tsp cocoa powder
  • 6 oz milk

Directions:

  1. Start by brewing some coffee. I like to use my Chemex® to make a large pot of drip.
  2. Let coffee cool a bit and pour into the ice tray. For this recipe, fill at least six 1-ounce cubes. Let ice set in the freezer.
  3. Once your coffee cubes are frozen (I let them set overnight) add cocoa powder to the bottom of your glass.
  4. Warm the milk and pour two ounces into the glass with the cocoa powder and stir until completely dissolved.
  5. Next, fill your glass with coffee ice cubes. I used six cubes, for approximately six ounces of coffee. Feel free to adjust the amount of cubes if you want more or less coffee flavor.
  6. Finally, add the remaining milk and stir. The warm milk will slowly melt the coffee ice cubes, leaving you with an exceptionally refreshing morning treat.
  7. You may top with whipped cream if you wish.
