The iced coffee is a refreshing, versatile drink capable of combining the aromatic intensity of coffee with the lightness of a cold preparation.
Like the cold coffee cream or water coffee cream, it is prepared in 5 minutes with a few simple steps.
With its endless variations and customizations, it has won over coffee lovers around the world; simple but never banal, it has become a daily pleasure that’s hard to resist.
Perfect in the hottest months, it is appreciated all year round by those seeking a refreshing break but with a less intense taste than usual espresso. The iced coffee lends itself to countless variations; to the classic cold coffee, you can add milk, cream, or flavored syrups to create always different tastes.
The recipe I propose takes into account the countless variations you can create, found at the end of the procedure.
