Iced Coffee

Is there anything better than a glass of iced coffee on a hot day (or any day, for that matter)? The simplest way to make it: Brew a regular cup of hot coffee, then cool it over ice. Add whatever milk and sweeteners you like.

Cold Brew

Cold brew is one of the biggest coffee trends of the last decade, and for good reason: It’s made by slowly steeping coffee grounds over cool or room-temperature water, so it tastes smoother and less bitter than regular iced coffee, which is brewed hot.

Iced Latte

The chilled version of a latte is simply espresso and milk over ice.

Frappe

This word can be used to describe a variety of coffee and espresso drinks that have been blended with ice. The slushy-like drinks often contain some kind of milk and a flavored syrup, plus a top layer of whipped cream.

Nitro Cold Brew

Cutting-edge coffee roasters developed this newer type of cold brew using techniques from the beer industry: It’s infused with nitrogen bubbles, so it has a frothy, beer-like texture. Trendy coffee houses dispense nitro cold brew from taps, and you can buy it by the can from RISE Brewing Co. and Starbucks.
