What is Iced Coffee?

Iced coffee is a coffee beverage served cold. It is typically prepared by brewing hot coffee and then serving it over ice. In hot brewing, sweeteners and flavoring may be added before cooling, as they dissolve faster. Iced coffee is usually more acidic and stronger in taste than a cold brew.


What is Cold Brew?

According to Water Street Coffee, Cold Brew coffee, by definition, is simply the process of steeping coffee grounds in room temperature or cold water for an extended period of time. The process of leaching flavor from the beans produces a chemical profile different from conventional brewing methods. This allows a smoother taste than iced coffee.
