Flash Brewed Iced Coffee
From Jim's How to Brew Coffee Series
A quick and easy way to make iced coffee at home is to brew coffee in your home brewer- while replacing some of the water with ice. Make this “flash brew” over ice to instantly cool and preserve the coffee’s distinct profile.
WHAT YOU NEED: Whole Bean Coffee | Drip Coffee Machine | Ice Cubes | Scale
Step 1.
MEASURE: Weigh coffee as you normally would for the amount you would like to yield.
For example: Desired Yield - One 8oz cup, weigh 14g.
Step 2.
GRIND: Grind coffee fresh to a medium drip consistency, similar to kosher salt.
Step 3.
PREPARE: Use a scale to weigh ½ of the total finished amount in ice and add to your brew vessel.
For example: Desired Yield - One 8oz cup, weigh 4oz of ice.
Step 4.
BREW: Brew hot coffee with half the amount of water you typically would. You’re making a strong coffee concentrate.
For example: Desired Yield - One 8oz cup, use 4oz of water.
Step 5.
FINISH: Once the brew is complete stir together to melt the remaining ice and dilute the coffee concentrate. You will be left with a cool beverage that you can drink right away. Pour into a glass with more ice and enjoy!
