Iced Coffee
Espresso poured over ice with milk and simple syrup, a cold, diluted coffee drink meant to be drunk before the ice melts it further.
Where it comes from
It spread as a summer alternative to hot coffee, and using espresso instead of brewed coffee let cafes chill and dilute a drink fast without losing all its flavor.
What cooks argue about
The fight is over pouring hot espresso straight over ice, which cools it fast but can taste sharp, or chilling the espresso first, which keeps flavor intact but takes longer.
Nobody has published a iced coffee recipe yet. The page stays out of search until one exists, which is the rule for every thin page here.
