About 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.

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.
