Really? How is it made?
- PoorlyNamed 4mo agoBy soaking regular ground coffee in water for 12 hours or so.
- tasercake 4mo agoYou may be thinking of cold brew, which is usually more expensive due to the higher coffee-to-water ratio. A standard ‘iced coffee’ at most coffee shops is espresso-based
- PoorlyNamed 4mo agoHuh. I never drink cold coffee so I always assumed they were one and the same. Thanks for the correction.
- crazygringo 4mo agoThis is not true. A standard iced coffee is just regular brewed coffee that is then put in the fridge. (Which is different from cold brew which is brewed in the fridge.) Absolutely not espresso-based.
- crazygringo 4mo agoBy making regular hot brew coffee and putting it in the fridge. If you go to any random cafe and asked for an iced coffee, that's what they're going to give you. If you want something else, you have to ask specifically for cold brew, or a specialty drink like an iced latte or something.
