Best coffee: Cold drinks
Cold drinks
- Iced coffee is a cold version of hot coffee, typically drip or espresso diluted with ice water. Iced coffee can also be an iced or chilled form of any drink in this list. In Australia, iced coffee is cold milk flavoured with a small amount of coffee.
- Frappé is a strong cold coffee drink made from instant coffee . Frappé was created in Greece in Thessaloniki when a guy couldn't wait for hot water for his coffee. His idea spread instantly to all Greece. Preparation: one spoonful of instant coffee (you can add sugar) in a shaker with some water (and milk). Icecubes are then added and if it's shaken hard enough for one minute it is served with a drinking straw because of the "foam" that is produced.
- Ice-blended coffee (trade names: Frappuccino, Ice Storm) is a variation of iced coffee. The name Frappucino was coined by Starbucks (a combination between frappé and cappuccino). Other coffeehouses serve similar coffee drinks, but under different names, since "Frappuccino" is a Starbucks trademark. One commonly used by many stores is Ice Storm. A frappuccino is a latte, mocha, or macchiato mixed with crushed ice and flavorings (such as vanilla/hazelnut if requested by the customer) and blended.
- Thai iced coffee is a popular drink commonly offered at Thai restaurants in the United States. It consists of coffee, ice, and sweetened condensed milk.
- Igloo Espresso a regular espresso shot poured over a small amount of crushed ice, served in an espresso cup. Sometimes it is requested to be sweetened as the pouring over the ice causes the shot to become bitter. Originating in Italy and has migrated to Australian coffee shops.
- Cold brewed coffee is a process of brewing coffee slowly (12 hours) with cold water to produce a strong coffee concentrate, often served diluted with water or milk of choice. Cold brewed coffee naturally seems sweeter due to its lower acidity.
- Affogato is a cold drink, often served as dessert, consisting of a scoop of ice cream or gelato topped with an espresso shot. Often, the drinker is served the ice cream and espresso in separate cups, and will mix them at the table so as to prevent the ice cream from entirely melting before it can be consumed.
They are all extremely good coffees. All that remains is to find which one is the best type of coffee for you.
