- Brew coffee at 2-3X normal strength
- Fill a small bucket with ice water
- Fill a tall metal drinking cup with ice and put it in the bucket. You may need to hold the cup down so it doesn’t float
- Slowly pour the iced coffee into the cup
The metal will conduct the heat quickly away from the cup and into the ice water bath. You should go from scorching hot coffee to cold iced coffee in under 30 seconds, with minimal melting of the interior ice cubes.
If you take your iced coffee with milk or cream, try soy milk instead, even if you aren’t vegan. Trust me.
