Coffee Options
Cold brew coffee: Makes the best iced coffee since it's smooth and strong. It's easy to make but just takes a few hours in the refrigerator. See how I make cold brew using Starbucks Cold Brew Pitcher Packs.
Strong coffee from drip machine: Use your regular coffee machine at home to make strong coffee (2-3 tablespoons of ground coffee to make one cup) then chill it down quickly by putting the coffee in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
Nespresso or Keurig: Use a pod or capsule to make one cup of coffee then chill it by putting it in the freezer for 15 minutes. A dark roast works better than a lighter roast.
Espresso: Use 2 shots of espresso and 3/4 cup of cold water to make a cup of strong coffee.
