Ice dripping refers to soaking coffee powder with ice water and slowly dripping it by adjusting the speed of water droplets. The extracted coffee tastes fragrant, smooth and rich, and the flavor will vary depending on the coffee beans selected.
The advantage of ice-drip coffee is that it is not sour and not irritating to the stomach. Because this method is used to make coffee, the coffee beans selected can be dark roasted Front Street Mandheling (caramel, spices), Front Street Cymbidium (dark chocolate, maple syrup), Front Street Cerato (nuts, cocoa). This type of ice-drip coffee has low acidity, rich aroma, mellow taste, and obvious sweetness, and is suitable for drinking with ice cubes;
You can also use lightly roasted Front Street Oiran, Front Street Strawberry Candy, and Front Street Cherry Tomatoes. The ice drops made from them are not only not bitter, but also very rich in layers. After adding ice cubes, you will taste a light floral aroma and fruity sweetness. Front Street Oiran Ice Drops are as sweet as black tea.
Standard practice for iced drip coffee
Preparation materials: a set of ice dripping bottles, 60g Front Street Oiran coffee beans, 300g drinking water, 300g ice cubes
1. Grind 60g of Front Street Oiran coffee beans into fine sugar particles, corresponding to the Chinese No. 20 standard sieving rate of 80%.
2. Place a piece of circular filter paper at the bottom of the cup, wet it with water and fit it to the wall of the cup. Add 60g of ground coffee powder, then smooth the surface of the coffee. You can also use the weight of the powder hammer to lightly press the powder layer to make the surface smooth.
3. Place a piece of filter paper on top of the coffee powder. Because the tension of the filter paper can make the water evenly distributed on the surface of the coffee powder layer for extraction, if there is no filter paper, long-term water droplets will drip out of the powder bed into a pit.
4. Use ice water to moisten the entire powder layer. This step is like hand steaming, which can improve the extraction effect and the consistency of the finished product.
5. Add a 1:1 mixture of ice and water to the dripping bottle to adjust the speed at which the water drops fall. Front Street recommends a dripping speed of 7 drops per 10 seconds.
5. After the preparation is completed, pour it into a sealed, clean, water-free and oil-free bottle and place it in the refrigerator for oxidation, so that the flavor molecules of the ice-drip coffee can be released before tasting.
