In a twinkling of an eye, it is May, and children in the south can be warmly entertained by the father-in-law of the sun when they go out. Hot weather always reminds us of iced coffee. If you go out to buy iced coffee, it will be a bit embarrassing for the children who are afraid of the heat. Buy a curling kettle at home and do it, but you always feel like you can't use it a few times. Is it possible to make ice drop coffee for 1 or 2 people without a curling kettle? Yes! Only two filter cups are needed!

What is ice drop coffee?

Ice drop coffee is the essence extracted from the powder layer by drop by drop of ice water. it usually takes a long time to make, and it takes 6-8 hours to make ice drop coffee for 3-4 people.

Unlike hand-brewed coffee, ice drop coffee is extracted at a low temperature. Due to low temperature, the bitter substances in coffee powder are difficult to be extracted. At the same time, the filtration rate is slow, and the sweet and sour substances in the coffee can be extracted more fully, so the iced coffee will be smoother and fresher than hand-brewed coffee, and the sweet and sour feeling will be more intense.

Can you make iced coffee without a curling kettle?!

Everyone is full of scientific research spirit about making ice drop coffee without a curling kettle. In a conversation, the front street barista heard a guest share that he had tried to make a small hole in a paper cup, then put the ice in the middle of a filter cup containing coffee powder, and wait for the ice to melt itself and drip water into the powder layer for extraction. Did the guest succeed? No! (cover your face. Jpg) because the paper cup was softened by ice water.

When I hear the inspiration here, the filter cup can also be used as a curling. But find a filter cup with a small water hole. The filter cup used to hold curling in Qianjie this time uses a three-hole cake-shaped filter cup. Because of its small pore diameter and slow melting of ice, the water flows slowly through the three holes and then gathers in the center to become large droplets and drips on the surface of the powder layer for uniform distribution.

How to make iced coffee from two filter cups?

Prepare materials:

V6002filter cup, tapered # 02 filter paper, three-hole cake filter cup, clean container, round filter paper (if not, you can cut other filter paper, round diameter is 6cm), 20g coffee powder, 140g ice cubes.

Step 1: wet the filter paper

Put the tapered filter paper into the V60 filter cup and wet it with normal temperature water clockwise so that the filter paper can better fit with the filter cup, and then pour out the water in the container and set aside.

Step 2: pour in the coffee powder

The front street uses Panamanian Hartman Manor red wine-treated coffee beans to make iced coffee with a grind of No. 20 (0.85mm) sieve pass rate of 75% (about the thickness of fine sugar), then pour into the middle of the filter cup and gently shake flat.

Step 3: add round filter paper & wetting powder layer

Add round filter paper on the surface of the powder layer, in order to distribute evenly after the ice water is filtered, so that the extraction of coffee becomes uniform. After putting in the round filter paper, 20g normal temperature water is added step by step through fine water flow, and it is the best to moisten the whole powder layer evenly while not more than 3 drops of coffee liquid fall.

Step 4: put on "full curling"

Place 140g ice cubes in a cake filter cup covered with plastic wrap to prevent falling ash, then place evenly in the middle of the V60 filter cup. The proportion of iced coffee made in the front street is 1:8, and the later taste can be diluted with ice / milk according to your own taste.

Step 5: wait for extraction & the surprise of waiting time

Ice drop coffee has been made for a long time. Take the ice drop coffee made at 25 ℃ at room temperature as an example, the extraction time is 4 hours and 30 minutes, and the extracted coffee liquid is 120g. Do not drink the coffee immediately after the extraction is completed. Due to the low temperature extraction, the flavor molecules have not been completely released, so we need to seal and rest in the refrigerator for more than 12 hours. The sealing process produces carbon dioxide, and the pressure generated by carbon dioxide allows flavor molecules to better express themselves.

Finally: savor the surprise brought by time!

Prepare your favorite cup with ice, pour in the ice drop of coffee and stir to taste. On the front street, the entrance of the Hartman Manor red wine treatment ice drop coffee is full of grape juice and fermented wine, followed by a hint of rose with the sweetness of honey as the highlight of this iced coffee.
