Iced coffee beverages have caused a big buzz in the coffee houses lately as more and more people are realizing how great a iced coffee really case taste!

According to the National Coffee Association, the percentage of Americans who drink iced coffee is rising every year with as many as 30% more people ordering the iced version of there favorite hot coffee beverage. Following the popularity of cappuccinos and mocha lattes, consumers are discovering that coffee is just as tasty - and even more refreshing - when served cold. 

If you can make ice tea then you can definitely prepare a really good iced coffee. A variety of options, such as flavoring syrups, cold milk, chocolate and spices, allow you to create personalized coffee concoctions that are just as delicious as those served in your favorite cafe. 

Beverages such as iced mocha frappe, vanilla iced coffee and iced coffee with coffee bean cubes are easy to make at home. Here are some tips for refreshing iced coffee drinks.

  1. Pour the flavoring syrup into the cup first. To complete the drink, pour in espresso or coffee, then the ice, and top it off with cold milk. 
  2.  Don't let your beverage become watered down. Cool your favorite coffee beverage with ice cubes made from fresh-brewed coffee instead of water!
  3. Use a machine that produces a high quality coffee or espresso. The Capresso CoffeeTeam pictured below, for example, grinds coffee beans right before brewing and allows you to control the strength of your coffee.
  4. Be creative. Add a personalized touch to your iced coffee beverages with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, nutmeg or cinnamon.
