A coffee beverage served cold. It may be prepared either by brewing coffee normally (i.e. carafe, French press, etc.) and then serving it over ice or in cold milk or by brewing the coffee cold. In hot brewing, sweeteners and flavoring may be added before cooling, as they dissolve faster. Iced coffee can also be sweetened with pre-dissolved sugar in water.
If you’re asking yourself ‘what is an iced coffee?’, then look no further. Quite simply, an iced coffee is a cold version of your favourite coffee, but it’s not simply a coffee that has been left to cool. Like a regular coffee, it’s usually a combination of hot espresso and milk. However, ice is added too.
Unlike a regular coffee, the iced version will not have frothy or steamed milk, as it simply doesn't translate well into the iced version. It’s because of this, that you may find less milk is added to an iced coffee than a regular one, or it can sometimes be even milkier. If this is the case, another shot of espresso can be used.
You will likely find that the flavours of a regular coffee and an iced one are also different. The iced version tends to be less sweet.
