Place the coffee and spices in the filter cone of your coffee maker. Brew coffee as usual; let it cool. In a tall glass, dissolve 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar in an ounce of the coffee. Add 5-6 ice cubes and pour coffee to within about 1" of the top of the glass.

Rest a spoon on top of the coffee and slowly pour whipping cream into the spoon. This will make the cream float on top of the coffee rather than dispersing into it right away.

Iced Coffee Recipe Tips

Coffee Preparation
For most of our recipes the ideal coffee preparation would be espresso.  We know that not everyone has an espresso maker so we offer a special Strong Brew Fine Grind option with our Nectar of Ice coffee blend.  Note: (if you have a fast brew coffee maker such as a Bunn read below) If you have a normal percolating coffee brewer that drips water through the coffee grounds at a slow rate this grind is perfect.  When preparing your coffee use 2 tablespoons of coffee for every 4 oz of water.  This will make an extremely strong drip brew that will make excellent iced coffee.  Note: If you have a fast brewer such as a Bunn you should not use our special Strong Brew Fine Grind because the coffee grounds may overflow from the filter cone.  If you have a fast brew machine either use regular drip grind coffee (and lots of it!), or you can buy our special Strong Brew Fine Grind and tie it in a coffee filter (like a tea bag) and let it steep in hot water (just under boiling) for 5+ minutes.  If you use this method you will want to buy large commercial coffee filters (available at restaurant supply stores, or Costco), and use 2 tablespoons of coffee for every 4 oz of water.  Using the proper coffee, water, and quantities of coffee are crucial to producing good iced coffee.

 

Unit Conversions
In our recipes when we use oz we are actually referring to a fluid ounce
1 cup = 8 oz.
1 oz.  = 2 Tablespoons (Tbsp.)
1 Tbsp. = 3 teaspoons (tsp.)

 

Chocolate Syrup
We aren't currently selling chocolate syrup, but any quality chocolate syrup will do.  We are currently using Hershey's chocolate syrup and it works great!

 

Coffee Ice Cubes
Don't let your coffee drinks get watered down with plain ice cubes. Freeze some coffee ahead of time in an ice cube tray. For a fancy touch, add a couple of whole roasted coffee beans to each cube. Warn your guests though. When the cubes melt, you don't want folks choking on the loose beans.

 

Plan Ahead
You should brew your coffee ahead of time, to give it time to cool.  If you are making espresso for the recipes then brew it fresh, immediately prior to making the drink.

 

Get a Cocktail Shaker
This is a particularly nice touch if you are serving up your coffee drinks while entertaining friends. Giving your drinks a good shake-up will make them extra frothy. Not recommended for sparkling drinks with club soda.
