A few days ago, some fans asked the editor how to do the ice drop.

As a southerner, the editor: your family doesn't know how to make ice drops yet.

You are really something!

It seems that northerners do need to make iced coffee.

Ha--

[ice drop] Coffee making steps:

\ 1 /

Grinding thickness

The coffee powder of the ice drop is a little bit finer than hand-made, about the size of fine sugar, as shown in the picture:

\ 2 /

Extraction time

As mentioned above, the extraction time depends on the grinding thickness of your coffee powder. In general, the finer the grinding, the shorter the extraction time, and the thicker the extraction time, the longer the extraction time, as when extracted with hot water.

Ice droplets usually take 6-8 hours, as long as try to control the dripping rate to 1-2 drops per second (or 7 drops for 10 seconds), 6-8 hours to complete the ice drops, to achieve the best flavor, need to put and refrigerator 1-2 days before drinking.

\ 3 /

Extraction mode

When using the same beans and the same grinding thickness, we find that ice droplets taste better than ice extract. I personally think ice drops of African beans (Yega, Sidamo, Kenya) taste smoother, cleaner and more fruity.

In addition, using ice droplets can save the final step of filtering the coffee liquid.

\ 4 /

water

Use ice cubes or water close to 0-5 ℃. For better and more consistent taste of coffee, try to use filtered water.

In terms of flavor, high temperature will make the tannic acid in coffee decompose into pyrowu acid, resulting in a sense of acidity and bitterness. Studies have shown that the acidity in cold-extracted coffee is 67% lower than that in hot-extracted coffee. Therefore, compared with hot extraction coffee and iced coffee with ice after hot extraction, the coffee made by cold extraction process has a lower acidity and is generally welcomed by people.

In addition, due to the conditions of low temperature and long contact with coffee powder, only small molecular flavor substances, such as flower and fruit flavor, are extracted, while those with larger molecules, such as smoky flavor, baking flavor, etc., are difficult to extract. This is why the cold extract coffee does not smell very shocking to the senses, but it tastes smoother, fragrant, hierarchical, obvious and without greasy feeling.

-Coconut milk iced coffee-

It sounds a lot like milk coffee from Hong Kong cafes, but it feels sweeter. There are also gradual layering, ↓.

-Orange almond iced coffee-

Sweet almond essence (almond extract) goes well with bitter coffee. Add 1 scoop of 2 tablespoons almond essence and 2 slices of oranges to iced coffee. Stir and serve. The taste will be more sour with lemon!

03

-ice cream, coffee-

In fact, it is Affogato--

First scoop two balls of ice cream into the cup, and then pour in the iced coffee. As for the taste of ice cream, the most classic is vanilla, chocolate or sea salt is also good!

No coffee, another matcha is also good to drink!

04

-caramel sea salt iced coffee-

Add some sea salt to caramel, it will taste richer and sweeter!

Caramel ingredients: 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of water, 3 cups of heavy cream, 3 tablespoons of butter, 1 tablespoon of sea salt, 2 tablespoons of vanilla essence.

First pour the sugar and water into the pot and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring all the time. After the sugar is dissolved, turn it to medium heat and continue to boil for 7-10 minutes (without stirring). Remove the pot until the color in the picture, do not heat it again.

Pour the heavy cream into the 3x4 measuring cup and stir. If the sugar condenses with the cold cream, it can be dissolved by heating and stirring over low heat. Finally, stir in the butter, salt and vanilla extract.
