How To Make Iced Coffee Without A Cold Press

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

If you are wanting to make the best iced coffee possible, your best bet is to use a cold press, such as the Toddy T2N Cold Brew System, but although a cold press is a relatively inexpensive investment, you might still need to know how to make good iced coffee without one - until you finally click on that link and make the purchase!

The great part about using a cold press is that you will avoid the acidic aftertaste that comes when you brew coffee the regular way; while the acidity is less noticeable when you drink your coffee hot, it can severely impair the taste of your coffee when you try to drink it cold - unless you take the right approach!

The first thing you should know about turning your "hot coffee" into "iced coffee" is that you should sweeten your coffee while it is still hot; this means that, as soon as you have finished brewing your coffee, you should add the desired sugar or sweetener.

Your coffee will also taste better if you take it off the burner right after it has finished brewing, as this will keep the coffee from having an undesirable "burned" taste. Turn off your coffee pot as soon as your coffee is done brewing, sweeten your coffee, and put the coffee into the refrigerator, allowing it to cool.

You should be able to make your iced coffee a couple hours later, as the coffee will now be cool enough; put some ice in a cup and pour the coffee over it, and then add the half and half or cream; make sure you add the half and half or cream after the coffee, as it will otherwise end up sticking to the ice and clumping up in your coffee!

Without a cold press, it might not be possible to achieve optimal results with your iced coffee, but when you make your iced coffee in this manner, you will come about as close to optimal taste as is possible without having all the right tools to work with!
