How to make iced coffee delicious?
More than 100 years ago in the United States, iced coffee became popular due to a publicity campaign to boost coffee sales in the summer. There is such a scene in the movie "Roman Holiday". The news reporter starring Gregory Peck ordered a cup of "Cold coffee". Nowadays, many people favor iced coffee, and every summer is the peak sales season for iced coffee.
When making iced coffee, you must pay attention to the fact that taste has temperature characteristics, and the intensity of the taste we feel will be affected by temperature. The company I work for has conducted taste tests on employees and customers. The conclusion is that if the temperature is low, people's sensitivity to sweet and bitter will decrease and their sensitivity to acid will increase. Because of this change in taste, the methods of making iced coffee and hot coffee are different. When making iced coffee, you need to use coffee beans with a high degree of roasting and a high blending ratio of Canebra species, which can weaken the sourness and enhance the bitterness.
There are actually many ways to make iced coffee, the most popular of which are iced Americano, iced latte, and cold brew, but they all require the use of extraction tools. If you want to make it easier, buy a hanging ear bag, which can also be used to make iced coffee.
Iced Americano, Iced Latte
The composition of Americano is espresso and water. When Front Street Coffee produces Americano coffee, it uses dark roasted blended coffee beans, then grinds them into very fine coffee particles. Use 20g of powder to extract 40g of coffee liquid in a ratio of 1:2 for 25-30 seconds, and then add warm water in a ratio of 1:5.
If you want to make an iced Americano, add 100g of ice cubes and 180ml of drinking water to 40g of coffee liquid.
Corresponding to the American style, latte actually replaces water with milk, so for a cup of iced latte, you first add 100g of ice cubes and 180ml of fresh milk, then use 20g of coffee powder to extract 40g of coffee liquid and pour it in, and you're done.
