How To Make Iced Coffee
Description
How To Make Iced Coffee begins with preparing coffee ice cubes by stirring freshly brewed espresso or dark roast coffee with organic blue agave sweetener, then freezing the mixture in an ice cube tray. These cubes freeze the coffee’s flavor and sweetness components, preventing dilution when added to the drink.
Each individual iced coffee is assembled by placing several coffee ice cubes in a tall glass, adding a teaspoon of agave, and pouring on slightly cooled coffee. A tablespoon or two of heavy cream is added last to create a creamy texture and mellow the coffee’s intensity. The drink is stirred to blend flavors smoothly.
This approach helps maintain a cold coffee drink with rich flavor that doesn’t get watered down as the ice melts. The use of agave sweetener and cream offers natural sweetness and richness that complements the brewed coffee. The coffee ice cubes can be stored up to one month in a freezer bag to keep their flavor intact.
Preparing the brewed coffee first and letting it cool before assembly prevents excessive melting and helps the iced drink stay cold longer. You can adjust sweetness and cream amounts to taste.
Ingredients
For the Coffee Ice Cubes:
- 14 ounces espresso or dark roast coffee
- 1 1/2 tablespoon organic blue agave Wholesome!® brand
For Each Iced Coffee:
- 4-6 ounces coffee dark roast
- coffee iced cubes, several
- 1 teaspoon organic blue agave Wholesome!® brand
- 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
For the coffee iced cubes:
- Stir 14 ounces dark coffee with Wholesome!® Organic Blue Agave. Pour the mixture into an ice tray and freeze. (I used an ice tray for large cocktail cubes.)
For each iced coffee:
- Place several coffee ice cubes in a tall glass. Pour in 1 teaspoon of Wholesome!® Organic Blue Agave. Then pour slightly cooled coffee over the ice cubes, leaving room in the glass for cream. Stir.
- Then pour 1-2 tablespoons cream into the glass. Taste and add additional agave if desired.
Notes
- Prepare the coffee ice cubes by mixing brewed coffee with agave before freezing to avoid watered-down iced coffee.
- Store frozen coffee cubes in a sealed freezer-safe bag to maintain their flavor for up to one month.
- Allow brewed coffee to cool before mixing to keep the iced coffee chilled longer without quick melting.
