Iced
Coffee Recipes for Enjoying Chilled Espresso, Thai
Iced Coffee And Many More Variations
By Nicholas

There are many refreshing iced coffee
recipes available, and we have selected some of the
most interesting for you. However, my favorite of
all it the traditional Italian iced coffee recipe
which uses freshly made espresso, a cocktail shaker
and ice cubes. In fact, if you ask for an iced coffee
in Italy this is the only recipe they will serve.
Poured into a cocktail glass, the chilled Italian
espresso is second to none.
When the heat is on try this traditional Italian
iced coffee recipe ...
So, how is the Italian iced coffee recipe actually
made? Simple, like all good things. Use your espresso
machine, if you have one, to make a normal shot for
one, two or more servings. Pour the freshly made espresso
coffee into the cocktail shaker, add ice cubes (the
ice doesn't get poured into the glasses with the coffee,
so the flavor isn't diluted), close the shaker and
shake like crazy! Pour into cocktail glasses and enjoy.
Surprisingly, the iced coffee will not be a dark espresso
brown color, but a creamy beige .
Here are a few more iced coffee recipes for you to
try Bermuda Iced Coffee
For this recipe, you'll need coffee, cream, sugar
and coffee flavor ice-cream. Pour the coffee, cream,
sugar and 1 or 2 scoops of ice-cream into a blender.
Blend, and serve cold in glasses or mugs. Tastes great,
but if you're on a diet beware.
Fresh Lemon Cafe
Here you'll need 1/4 cup of coffee to which you add
2 oz of lemon sherbet, 1/2 tsp of lemon juice, 1 tsp
of grated lemon rind and 1 tsp of sugar. Place the
contents to your blender and blend until smooth. Serve
in chilled glasses.
Cinnamon Caramel
This recipe has an interesting taste. You'll need
about 6 tsp of ground coffee, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2
cup caramel syrup. Prepare a pot of coffee in the
usual way, but add the cinnamon to the ground coffee.
Add the syrup to the hot coffee and stir until dissolved.
Chill the coffee and serve over ice with milk, cream
or sugar. For an interesting variation, you could
also use this coffee, but chill it in the way of the
traditional Italian iced coffee recipe above.
Thai Iced Coffee
Here's another interesting variation. You'll need
strong ground coffee for brewing 4 cups, 4 tsp sugar,
4 tsp heavy cream, 2 tsp ground cardamom, 1 tsp almond
flavoring, crushed ice. Add the cardamom to the ground
coffee and brew, when ready add the sugar and almond
flavoring, mix well and leave to cool or chill in
fridge. Fill four glasses half way with the crushed
ice, then add the coffee leaving about an inch or
a little more from the rim of the glass. Hold a spoon
over the coffee and gently pour the cream over the
spoon so that the cream floats on the top of your
iced coffee.
Well, that's it. These are just a few of the many
iced coffee recipes that are available today. Part
of the fun is also experimenting. Enjoy.
