The temperature is very high almost all the year round in Guangzhou, and summer in Guangzhou should begin in April. As soon as it is hot and humid, I would like to go to the cafe and have a cup of iced coffee to water the fire. The cold coffee liquid slips down the mouth, throat and esophagus into the stomach, and the feeling of cooling from the beginning to the end is not too good, just like swimming in a coffee pool, which is addictive.

When it comes to iced coffee, the simplest and roughest way is iced American coffee. Fill the glass with ice, double espresso pour, shake and shake, and start to enjoy. Personal habits do not add water, let the ice naturally melt, a mouthful of stuffy, and finally chew a piece of ice to resolve all the heat.

When you go to a coffee shop in summer, you can often see a variety of curling kettles on the bar, handsome and very attractive.

Ice drop coffee (cold drip coffee), also known as Dutch coffee (dutch coffee), generally refers to the method of extracting coffee solution with cold water. Because cold water or ice water is used as the dripping medium, the content of caffeine and fatty acids dissolved by high temperature extraction is significantly reduced, which makes iced coffee show a mild characteristic that is not sour and does not irritate the intestines and stomach.

Ice drop coffee has so many benefits that it is becoming more and more popular now. However, the production time of ice drop coffee is very slow, and the ice water drips slowly through the powder layer into the pot, which seems to be a very enjoyable process. it usually takes 6-8 hours to extract ice drop coffee, with an average dripping rate of 5-6 water in 10 seconds. At home, we can control the speed and put it in the refrigerator at night, and we can enjoy the ice drop coffee when we get up the next morning.

As the ice drop coffee has been made for a long time, cafes are in short supply and generally need to be booked in advance, but some cafes will inevitably appear on the spot, which makes people doubt whether it is true or not. So how to tell whether the ice drop coffee is real or not? After a long period of dripping and fermentation, the real ice drop coffee will have a strange aroma when opening the bottle, which is also like perfume but not so strong, with a faint mixture of flowers and fruits, pine and wood. this is a special aroma that hot coffee does not have, and this aroma cannot be copied and unforgettable.

Ice drop coffee is low in bitterness, low in caffeine, soft in taste, and won't have palpitations and insomnia even if you drink a few cups. On the other hand, chilled coffee only lowers the temperature of the coffee itself, does not change its taste, and does not reduce the content of caffeine, so there will be great differences in taste.

Through these two methods, we can tell whether the ice drop coffee provided by the coffee shop is a fake ice drop directly added ice to cool down. Every drop of ice coffee is the essence of time. Ice drop coffee is suitable for tasting slowly. It is best not to be as stuffy as ice American coffee.

Ice American coffee is simple and rough, ice drop coffee slow worker can do fine work. Then introduce to you a simple and rough method of making iced coffee, which tastes great-iced coffee. The method of making coffee is much simpler than that of ice drop coffee, and it is very suitable for families without ice drop kettles.

We need a sealed bottle. Pour the ground coffee powder into a sealed bottle and add ice cubes and ice water. Gouache at 1:12 is twice as fine as coffee powder and hand grinding. Shake 5-6 times and refrigerate for 8-12 hours or more. Shake the sealed bottle twice and filter the coffee grounds with filter paper to enjoy a cup of iced coffee pull with sake-like aroma.

Make a delicious iced coffee on a hot summer day.
