When the summer sun is beating down and you're thirsty for coffee, nothing beats a cold cup of coffee. But what should you choose - cold brew or iced coffee?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The short answer? It all depends on you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both methods have their advantages - and provide different flavour experiences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iced coffee (Flash Brew) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Iced coffee, also known as Flash Brew, is brewed hot, for example with a hand brewer or coffee maker, and quickly cooled down with ice cubes. This produces a fresh and aromatic cup with distinct flavour nuances - perfect if you like light, fruity coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recipe for Flash Brew with coffee maker:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you make black iced coffee in a funnel, you replace some of the water with ice cubes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here's how you do it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Place 50 grams of filter ground coffee in the filter holder<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Fill the coffee flask with 200 grams of ice cubes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Sprinkle 10 grams of sugar over the ice cubes (can be omitted)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Fill the water tank with 5 dl of water<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Brew the coffee over the flask filled with ice cubes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Attention: Remove the flask from the plate on the funnel as soon as the coffee has been funnelled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Stir the flask to dissolve the last of the sugar and ice cubes that have not melted<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Serve in glasses with fresh ice cubes<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    This recipe yields approx. 7 dl iced coffee, enough for four small glasses or two large ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is a basic recipe that may vary depending on the region and type of coffee. Experiment with the amount of coffee and water until you get the flavour you like best.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Cold Brew<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Cold Brew is, as the name implies, brewed with cold water. Coarsely ground coffee and cold water are mixed and brewed slowly at room temperature for 12-16 hours. The result is a soft, sweet and less acidic coffee - ideal for those who like a rounder flavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
