Summer is finally upon us and most days are just too warm for hot cup of java juice. Below are some tips to help you make a great iced coffee. If you are determined to kick the coffee shop habit and make your own iced coffee at home, flavored the way you like it, strong and heady and above all cold, I’m here to help. Here is how you make the best iced coffee you’ve ever had. Start with fresh coffee beans. A great iced coffee was never made using stale beans so avoid buying your beans on sale. If you don’t drink iced coffee often, consider buying fresh beans at a coffee shop where you can buy only the amount you need for the occasion. Test the taste. Hot coffee tastes different than cold coffee. So to get an idea of how your coffee will taste cold let a hot cup cool to room temperature. This little test will help you decide what tastes perfect to you. Use fresh ice. Ice has a tendency to get a stale if it sits in the freezer unused for too long. If you’re wondering whether your ice is helping of hurting your iced coffee, it’s easy to test: let a few cubes melt and come to room temperature, then taste the resulting water. If it’s water you would want to drink by the glassful, you’re in good shape. If not, toss out the old ice and make fresh. If it still tastes stale, buy a bag of ice, the cost is worth the boost in flavor. Brew it strong. Brew your coffee on the strong side as it will be weakened by the ice. To keep from diluting your drink, try turning your leftover coffee into ice cubes. Use these in the place of regular ice cubes to keep your drink chilled. Try a cold brew. Some people object to acidity in their cold coffee. Cold brewing greatly reduces the acid content of coffee (with the same coffee it will lower the acidity one full pH point vs. hot brew). Put 3/4 cup ground coffee in a quart Mason jar, fill with water and stir. Cap it and put in the refrigerator for 12 hours. Strain the resulting concentrate through a coffee filter to remove the grinds. Add water to taste when you’re ready to drink. You can even heat the reconstituted beverage for a quick, low-acid cup of hot coffee. Don’t use burned coffee for your iced coffee. Saving leftover coffee for iced beverage is often fine, but don’t be tempted to use the dregs of a burnt pot. If it doesn’t taste good hot, it definitely won’t taste good cold. Add some zip to your iced coffee. Adding fruits like strawberries, oranges, blueberries or even cherries and spices like nutmeg, cinnamon or cardamom are a great way to perk up your drink and your day. The important thing is to have fun with it! Try lots of new things. Vary your usual routine. The worst that can happen is you won’t like it. You can always try something else! If you’re short on time and don’t have a stash of reconstituted coffee available, try this recipe using instant coffee. Vanilla Iced Coffee 2 teaspoons instant coffee 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 2 teaspoons cold water 1 1/4 cups milk Chocolate shavings (optional) Sugar (optional) Directions: Put the first 5 ingredients into a blender. Pulse blend until the ingredients are smooth and frothy. Add the cold milk and pulse blend until all the ingredients are blended well. Pour of a few cubes of ice, add the chocolate and voila! If you desire, add the ice to the blender after the first five ingredients have been blended and crush the ice and then add the milk and mix. [image-credits]

Ledena kava napravljena kod kuće doista može imati sjajan okus, a za to vam je potrebno svega nekoliko minuta. Ledenu kavu kod kuće možete napraviti na nekoliko načina, a osim leda i kave, slobodno se poigrajte sa začinima, poput đumbira, ili pak dodajte sladoled ili voće. Hladno kuhana kava. Kavu skuhajte na hladno, a ovom metodom dobit ćete vrlo slatku i ukusnu ledenu kavu koja je i do 60 posto manje kisela od vruće kuhane kave. Hladno kuhana kava također eliminira nepoželjnu gorkastu aromu. Za hladno kuhanje kave prvo stavite kavu u veću posudu ili bokal, a količinu odredite prema vlastitom ukusu. Tamnija, jače pečena kava obično daje bogatiji okus. Preko kave prelijte devet šalica hladne vode. Bokal poklopite te ostavite kavu da odstoji barem 12 sati. Nakon toga uz pomoć cijedila procijedite kavu kako biste uklonili zrnca. Prilikom serviranja u šalicu ulijte trećinu hladno skuhane kave, dvije trećine vode ili mlijeka, po želji dodajte šećer te ubacite nekoliko kockica leda. Drugom metodom kavu treba prvo klasično skuhati , no treba biti malo jača jer ćete je kasnije razrijediti ledom. Ako želite ledenu kavu sa šećerom, dodajte ga prilikom kuhanja jer će se granule šećera bolje otopiti. Skuhanu kavu prelijte u stakleni bokal, pustite da se jedan sat hladi na sobnoj temperaturi, a nakon toga je stavite na dvosatno hlađenje u hladnjak. Prilikom serviranja u visoku staklenu čašu ulijte ohlađenu kavu, dodajte nekoliko kockica leda te po želji dodajte malo mlijeka ili vrhnja i dobro promiješajte. Ledenu kavu možete pripremiti i u obliku sjajnog frapea. Priprema je vrlo jednostavna: u blender stavite izmrvljeni led i četvrtinu šalice mlijeka te šalicu svježe kuhane kave. Miksajte oko deset sekundi, a nakon toga dodajte šećer po želji te ekstrakt vanilije, kakao, čokoladu ili cimet. Još malo miksajte te uživajte u sjajnom okusu. Shake s instant kavom još je jedan sjajan način pripreme ledene kave kod kuće. Prvo otopite instant kavu i šećer u malo vode. Zatim dodajte 200 ml ohlađenog mlijeka i zdrobljenog leda. Smjesu je najbolje staviti u bocu koja se može dobro zatvoriti i dobro protresti ili pak u veću šalicu i snažno miješati. Ledenoj kavi možete obogatiti okus najrazličitijim dodacima - ovisno o tome što volite, dodajte malo narančine kore, sok od naranče ili sladoled od naranče. Ljubiteljima slasnih voćnih okusa svidjet će se kuglica ili dvije sladoleda od maline ili pak kakvo svježe voće. Ledenu kavu možete i malo 'jače' začiniti: na samom kraju ubacite malo likera Irish Cream, malo votke te malo ekstrakta vanilije i uživajte.
