Who doesn't like Iced coffee?
Some people swear by iced coffee and they can't seem to get enough of it. Even chain coffee generally tend to serve iced instead hot coffee. According William ukers in his book " all about coffee" , there is a coffee called Mazagran a sweetened cold coffee which water or ice has been added to it originated from Algeria that may be the first iced coffee existed.Check out that book, it has everything you need to know about coffee. Though the book uses old English so reading it is a bit chore.
Moving on!
Today I am showing you three iced coffee that you can try at home. You can use drip coffee or instant coffee, your choice. In this recipes, I am using both. With only these tools and ingredients below you can make Cafe-like coffee.
Iced Latte
Ingredients
- Coffee
- Milk
- Ice cubes
Making coffee is actually knowing about measurement and substance. It is important to know which has to be first and which has to be poured the second.
How to make iced latte
- Pour ice cubes
- Pour Milk
- Finally, the coffee.
You can use either drip coffee or nescafe. Though with nescafe you get the crema benefit compared to drip coffee.
Iced Americano Freddo
Ingredients
- Instant Coffee (nescafe)
- Water
- Ice cubes
How to make Iced Americano Freddo
- Pour the coffee into a shaker
- Add 50ml water and shake it until the crema builds
- Pour it on a tall glass with ice
It is similar to greek frappe method but the difference is instead using whisker, I used bottle to shake it. Please don't use plastic bottle like I did because it can be too hot to handle when you add 50ml hot water to it.
Coffee Milk Cubes
This requires an overnight freezing. So, since I already made it the other day, today, I am showing the end version of it.
Ingredients
- Drip coffee
- Milk
How to make Coffee Milk Cubes
- Pour milk into an ice cubes tray.
- Wait until they become ice
- Pour drip coffee on top of it.
- Wait until they freeze. So you will get the top milk and the bottom is iced.
- Take them out from the ice cube tray.
- Pour some more drip coffee
- add milk and voila! serve it while it's cold.
All this coffee can be served with steamed chocolate cake!
This recipe is quite fast and simple to make.
Ingredients
- grated cheese
- 5 tbsp all purpose flour
- 5 tbsp sugar
- 4 eggs
- 3 tbps chocolate powder
- 5 tbsp condensed milk
- 2 tsp oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp emulsifier
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp corn flour
How to make
- Mix all the ingredients together + sprinkle grated cheese on top.
- Pour the mixture into the baking tray
- Steam the cake for about 45 until it expands.
- Sprinkle grated cheese again.
- Cut and serve chilled or hot.
I generally prefer to eat it after it's chilled inside the fridge. That recipe is actually quick one and has more complex ingredients than some chocolate cakes out there.I guess that's just my preference. Plus I use steamer instead oven because my oven doesn't work at the moment. When I eat the cakes, it really goes well with the coffee pairing above.So, maybe you'd wanna try my chocolate cake and coffee?
