Iced Coffee FAQ

Yeah, yeah, I know what you might think: “What things we can actually learn about iced coffee? Is just coffee…”. First of all, watch your mouth! “just coffee”, ha! Coffee is everything. Period.

Secondly, we can always learn more about every recipe out there: from numerous variations to techniques, professional tricks, and further advice. So, don’t underestimate the FAQs section!

What Syrup to Add to Iced Coffee?

Replace your regular sugar from the coffee with this syrup instead. Also, if you add some vanilla or cinnamon sticks when melting your sugar, you can make flavored syrup for your coffee too. For making brown sugar simple syrup, you’ll need:

• 2 cups brown sugar;
• 2 cups boiling water;
• 2 sticks cinnamon (optional);
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional).

As for the instructions, go read them in my Brown Sugar Syrup Recipe.

How to Brew the Perfect Cup of Coffee?

When I started consuming coffee, I wanted to know how to make it perfect (you know how a perfectionist I am). So I made a little research and came across this guide about brewing the perfect cup of coffee. So, I bought a French press and I prepared coffee just like this since then:

1. Measure your coffee (2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water);
2. Grind your coffee;
3. Prepare the water;
4. Pour it into the french press;
5. Let the grounds absorb the water for approximately 30 seconds before stirring;
6. Let the water extract from the grounds for 2 minutes and 30 seconds;
7. Plunge;
8. Pour.

How to Make Caramel Iced Coffee?

Store-bought caramel sauce is an easy, quick, and affordable add-in if you want some caramel ice coffee. You can find caramel sauce at almost any supermarket as it is used for desserts too.

How to Make the Vanilla Iced Coffee

First of all, I want to let you know that is very easy to make simple iced coffee, without any extra flavor (vanilla, caramel, chocolate). The key is to prepare the brown sugar syrup without the vanilla extract – use only sugar and water.

However, I love to add vanilla or cinnamon sticks to my brown sugar syrup as I love these flavors in my coffee anytime. I’ll do me and you just do you!

Ingredient List

Here is the affordable list of ingredients:

• 1 cup of coffee, at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons milk;
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar simple syrup;
