Tips For Juan's Iced Coffee
Iced coffee can be made from cold-brew coffee, which may take 12 hours to make. Once it is made, usually the next day, the grounds would be filtered out. Cold brew results in a very strong coffee concentrate which then can be mixed with cream, milk, spices, and sweeteners.
When liquids are cold, the channels in your taste buds do not perceive as much flavor; so you may have to add the extra amount of sweeteners in the iced coffee to achieve the same level of sweet taste as if the coffee were at room temperature or warmer (hotter).
