10 cool iced coffee recipes with chocolate, banana, ice cream and more

Classification of cold coffee drinks

Coffee is an amazing and multifaceted product. Contrary to the common misconception about the dangers of coffee for the body, oxidants, vitamins, amino acids, substances that are so necessary especially in hot weather, are found in abundance in coffee. In addition to the refreshing effect, a cold coffee drink perfectly charges you with vivacity and energy, which is exactly what is needed in the summer, when our activity decreases. In general, cold coffee in Russia is gaining momentum and becoming more popular from season to season, which is good news. There are a huge number of variations of cold coffee drinks, but we will highlight two groups:

• Hot base (espresso)
• Cold base (cold brew)

In espresso-based hot drinks, the base and main ingredient is ice. Use whole pieces or chopped into small or large crumbs. The purpose of ice is to cool, and the size of the fractions affects tactile sensations and the cooling rate. Almost everything is added to the base and ice, from milk (regular, alternative) to any juices and sparkling water, limited only by the author’s imagination. The only thing you should always remember when preparing a drink is that espresso is concentrated and capricious coffee, ready to oxidize at any moment and ruin the taste of the drink as a whole. By combining various ingredients, supplementing them with interesting additives and flavors, you can find a new recipe for yourself every day. The main and most common cold drinks based on espresso are Frappe, Ice Latte, Espresso Tonic, Fredo and Glass.

Cold brew

Cold base or “Cold Brew” is becoming more and more popular and is increasingly replacing classic coffee drinks. Cold brew quickly spread throughout the world, becoming a separate recipe with its own culture.

This is a method of preparing and “brewing” coffee in cold water, often using ice. It has a bright coffee taste with a high caffeine content. Ground coffee, coarsely ground, is infused in cold water for 8 to 24 hours. Due to such a long period of time, choosing a recipe is quite a difficult task, but if you succeed, the result will exceed all your expectations. Cold brew is the ideal base for cold coffee drinks. Due to the poor solubility of acids in cold water, the drink turns out softer, and due to the long brewing time, fruit and berry descriptors are better revealed. This is the basis that allows you to fully unleash the potential of the flavor characteristics of various ingredients. Any juice, sparkling water and even tea will not spoil it, but will only complement the taste. The main thing is the Cold Brew itself. By taking the time to select coffee beans and a recipe, even in its pure form, it will delight your guests in hot and sultry weather.

When preparing coffee drinks, regardless of the brewing method, the same ingredients are used. The composition includes water and ground beans. However, the result is different. The chemical reaction that occurs during cooking directly depends on the temperature of the water.

Among the main differences are the following:

• Iced coffee contains significantly more caffeine. This fact was proven during a scientific experiment conducted by US scientists. Therefore, it is recommended to dilute the finished drink with water or milk;
• In cold brew, the concentration of chlorogenic acid is significantly higher. Therefore, the coffee turns out more tasty and healthy;
• The taste of a cold drink is more refined. It lacks astringency and viscosity. But berry and fruit shades, as well as caramel notes, are clearly noticeable. Its taste is often even compared to compote. It is incredibly bright and rich. Therefore, many coffee lovers say that this brewing method is the best.
