How To Make Iced Coffee

How to make iced coffee….That’s kind of what this website is all about right? Yes, yes it is…just look at the name.

To some of you this topic might seem pretty self explanatory. I mean, how hard can it be. Take some hot coffee, make it cold, add ice, and…..ta-da…Iced Coffee!!!

I used to think that was the case, until I started looking into all 14 gazillion ways that you can make iced coffee. I discovered that there are literally hundreds of different variations of this simple drink. So I hit the streets (that’s what I call Google now, “the streets”) to see what people were making and what they were asking about, and I compiled a list of recipes for you (because that’s how much I love you).

If you don’t want to browse the the whole article (what, are you allergic to reading?), you can click on our handy little table of contents and it will take you right where you need to go.

How To Make Iced Coffee Fast

The fastest way to go from zero to a tall and delicious glass of iced coffee is to brew hot coffee and pour it over lots of ice (see, I told you it was easy). If you choose this method you are going to want to make your coffee extra strong because the rapidly melting ice will dilute it. Or you can do what I like to do and use Coffee Ice Cubes.

Of course, you could also let your coffee sit in the fridge for a few hours to cool off, but this defeats the whole purpose. Remember, we want it fast…as in now!

How To Make The Best Iced Coffee

Now here is the question that everybody wants to know. In fact, why wouldn’t this be the only question? I should probably just get rid of every other recipe on the site and just keep this one.

Well, I guess it’s always going to be a bit subjective…a matter of opinion as they sat. What seems best to one may only be halfway ok to another. But I think this recipe is pretty great and might just be as close to perfect as you’re going to get.

It comes from our friends over at The Pioneer Woman, and it has all the hallmarks of the world’s best cup of iced coffee. It starts out with a cold brew base…well, you can check it out for yourself.
