How to brew iced coffee [quick cooling method]

Recently, there have been many days with high temperatures, and the season where you can enjoy delicious iced coffee may be just around the corner.
Therefore, in this article, we will tell you how to brew iced coffee using the "quick cooling method."
 

Two ways to make iced coffee

There are two main ways to brew iced coffee.
They are the "quick cooling type" and the "cold brewing type".

The ``quenching method'' is a method of rapidly cooling coffee extracted with hot water using ice. Its characteristics are its rich taste and gorgeous aroma. By rapidly cooling the coffee, it is possible to retain the taste and aroma of the extracted coffee.

In the case of a quick-cooling type, the taste of the coffee changes easily, so it is recommended to drink it as soon as possible, or at the latest within the same day.

As I introduced in a previous article , the "cold brew method" is a brewing method that slowly extracts coffee using water.
Soak a coffee bag with ground coffee in water, place it in the refrigerator, and let it brew for 8 to 12 hours.

Compared to hot water, the cold-brew method is characterized by a soft texture and a gentle, refreshing taste due to the slow brewing process.

The taste does not change easily over time, so if you close the lid tightly and store it in the refrigerator, it will stay delicious for about 2 days.
