Iced coffee is the best

I am not a very big fan of hot drinks, but I enjoy drinking a cup/glass/thermos/pot/gallon of coffee. I especially drink it more when my taste buds dance around and say, “Wow! That was some good, quality coffee!” A few weeks ago I set out to find a better way to make my favorite drink – iced coffee. In my opinion, the best method of procuring coffee is in whole bean form. I tend to buy a brand that is roasted in my region – supporting the local economy – that also tastes good. I store the whole bean bag in my freezer and the grounded bean in a small coffee can in my refrigerator.

At first, I tried pouring hot coffee over Frozen coffee cubes, then added my refrigerated creamer. This lasted for a few weeks, but I couldn’t notice a huge difference in taste between water iced cubes and coffee iced cubes.

Secondly, I tried cold brewing coffee – placing ground coffee beans in cold water into the refrigerator overnight. This only resulted in weak, flavorless coffee.

Next, I tried hot brewing coffee, pouring it into a container, and letting it sit in the refrigerator overnight. This seems to be the best option so far. I still get to keep my 1.5 tbsp ratio for coffee beans and resulting liquid. The iced cubes do not melt when the coffee is poured over them. I think I will stick to this option for now.
