How Do You Make Iced Coffee At Home?
September 1st, 2009 by Rexx
As I’m a regular coffee drinker and the temperature in Australia is shooting up, I want to stop drinking hot coffee and instead have iced coffee. The problem is I have no idea how to make it and I’d prefer not to buy one from a coffee shop. I have a espresso machine that textures milk and I would like to use it if possible.
If anyone has any recipes for home made iced coffee I’d love to know them, and please make the measurements in metric units if possible:)

When you make a pot of coffee, use twice as much coffee grounds as you would for hot coffee. Fill a glass with ice, pour coffee in glass, add milk. When the ice cubes melt, the coffee won’t dilute.
If you want to add sugar, the best way to do it is make simple syrup. Boil 1 cup of water with 1/2 cup of sugar. It’s a bar trick

You can make a strong coffee extract and then pour it over ice and refrigerate until you want to drink it. Try this and then adjust to make it the strength you like:
50g ground coffee
900g water
900g ice
Brew as you normally would in a coffee machine, then pour the strong coffee over ice in a heat-proof container. Refrigerate, covered, until the coffee is as cold as you like.

Just about all the responses so far have pretty much given good advice. As a coffee farmer in Jamaica, I know exactly where you are coming from in regards to the heat and the preference of iced coffee that time of year. In fact. I am sipping iced coffee now.
The main advice I would like to contribute is if you want sugar in your coffee make sure you put it in when the coffee is still hot. Sugar doesn’t dissolve well in cold beverages. Then stick it in the fridge and enjoy later on.
Hope this helps!
