Iced Coffee - Hot orCold Brewed
There are many debates on preparation method for iced coffee. I drink Iced coffee year round and have found that regular hot brewed coffee, cooled then refrigerated is the best.
Green beans are roasted for a reason- to get proper flavor and coffee is made with hot nearly boiling water for a reason- heat reaction impacts taste.
Choosing the proper beans that have been properly roasted is the key to great hot brewed iced coffee and then brewing- cooling to room temperature before putting in the fridge.
Soaking ground coffee in cold water for 8-10-12 hours yields dirty "coffee tasting" water. The nuances of the coffee bean are lost because the true flavors have been been released with the reaction to heat.
