When the weather gets hot, there is no need to give up the ritual of espresso. With just a few ingredients and a little care, you can prepare a good iced coffee at home using the system you rely on every day: coffee pods, capsules or ground coffee.<\/p>\n

The starting point is always a properly extracted coffee. From there, you can choose whether to chill it in the refrigerator, pour it over ice, shake it, combine it with cold milk or turn it into a quick coffee granita. In this guide, you will find five practical methods, the basic quantities and the most common mistakes to avoid.<\/p>\n

Before you start: four useful rules<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Prepare a short, concentrated coffee.<\/strong> An extraction that is too long tends to taste more diluted once the ice is added.<\/li>\n
  2. Sweeten the coffee while it is still hot.<\/strong> Alternatively, use ready-made sugar syrup: granulated sugar is more difficult to dissolve in a cold drink.<\/li>\n
  3. Use large ice cubes.<\/strong> They melt more slowly and help reduce dilution.<\/li>\n
  4. Chill the glass and your equipment.<\/strong> A cold glass or shaker reduces the amount of time the hot espresso remains in contact with the ice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/section>\n

    1. Classic refrigerated iced coffee<\/h2>\n

    This is the simplest method when you want to prepare one or more servings in advance and serve them at your convenience.<\/p>\n
