In this summer when the Arctic Circle needs air conditioning, we living outside the Arctic Circle rely on cold air conditioning and iced coffee to survive. Autumn has passed and the heat is approaching, we have decided to take a life-sustaining iced coffee inventory, thank you for the iced coffee that has accompanied us through the long summer.
In addition to the old three: ice American, ice latte, star ice, this year's iced coffee family ushered in a lot of new faces, which cup is your summer savior? Let us know in the comments section!
Has a beer taste: waterfall cold extract
Value: ★★★ Continuation value: ★★★
▲ Nitrogen cold extraction
This year, when the light food trend is prevalent, cold brew has successfully landed on the summer menu of large and small cafes. This kind of coffee soaked in cold water for more than 12 hours, due to the low extraction temperature, does not have the stimulating caffeine of ice And American, nor does it have a sour and bitter taste, leaving only a pleasant coffee aroma and a faint citrus aroma, and the taste is as silky as a shelled boiled egg.
Many people will ask, why is cold extract more expensive than ice American? Because cold brew takes longer to make, coffee beans are of better quality, richer flavor, and less irritating to the stomach, it is no problem to leave it for a week.
Cold extraction can also be transformed — such as adding nitrogen, punching into a cup like a draft beer, dense foam falling from the mouth of the cup, and a "waterfall spectacle" that lasts only thirty seconds makes the monotonous-sounding iced coffee a little more interesting.
▲ Latte cold extract
A layer of foam floating on the top of the coffee, licking it before it disappears, has the refreshing feeling of stealing the beer of the elders when I was a child. Citrus and cocoa aromas remain in the mouth, without the slightest hint of herbal medicine/soot, which is common in ice-American style. Looking for an extra layer of taste? Try the latte cold extract with fresh milk, the waterfall effect is more pronounced. Served with less creamy fruit tarts, the flavor is excellent.
Energetic: Ice Hand Punch
Value: ★ Continuation value: ★★★
Hand punch, which can be drunk all year round, is suitable for people who just want to refresh their minds and don't want to eat calories. However, there is a problem - many hand-brewed coffees, the flavor is greatly reduced after cooling, and if you add ice cubes, it is like boiling water dripping with coffee - fortunately, there is a suitable ice hand brew coffee.
For example, the Yega Sherbek Sherry Chart. Sheretu is a small village in the Yega sherry region of Ethiopia, where coffee production is small and the floral and fruity aroma is remarkable. The aroma is still not loose after freezing – the barista cleverly locks in the aroma of the coffee with ice cubes, and when the coffee cup is lifted, the freshness comes to the face.
Revealing a "Ben Gang Fang" that makes the ice hand punch more delicious: first eat a cold noodle / cold wonton / cold skin, preferably a lot of sesame sauce, with three toppings, and then refreshingly suck the noodles, the starch gradually brings sleepiness when drinking a sip of ice hand punch, hot day irritability and uneasiness do not exist at that moment.
Visual Cooling: Mint CoolIng Ice
Value: ★★★ Continuation value: ★★
▲ Various flavors of cool ice music
The moment you drink your first sip of Star Ice Every Year, summer officially begins. Caffeine, crushed ice, cream bring a taste orgasm, lick the cream and then suck a large mouthful of crushed ice soaked in coffee, depraved and relieved.
In addition to traditional coffee and mocha star ice music, a variety of novel flavors of ice music are a must try. Summer without mint is incomplete, and mint and coffee go hand in hand – the recipe for cooling off. The mint green drink is held in the hand, and the visual cooling is instantaneous. The refreshing taste and the bitterness of the espresso collide to double the mind.
▲ Green field ice refreshing ice music
Wellness hot drinks: Kotador and Australian White
Despite the iced coffee inventory, we decided to open a back door for hot drinks. After all, when the office blows air conditioning to migraines, when the overtime and endless driving will be tortured to the heart, when the aunt visits and can't eat ice, you have to rely on hot coffee.
▲ Cottador v.s Australian white
The small cup-shaped Kotaduo drank in one breath, and the body's electricity quickly filled up. The amount of milk used is between the Australian white of the kotador and the latte, and the balance is more appropriate. This extra sip of milk is a little more satisfying than Kotador, and it is not like a latte to support the stomach, just right.
