Forget Boring Frappes, Try These Iced Coffee Recipes Instead

Ahh! That first sip of the perfect iced coffee is just heaven, isn't it? There’s nothing like a cup of hot coffee but sometimes only a glass of iced coffee can scratch that itch. Making iced coffee at home is so much better than buying an expensive cup at a cafe every morning. 

These recipes require some basic ingredients and only a couple of minutes of your time. However, to make the best kind of coffee, you need good quality coffee. Both recipes make three servings and keep in mind, you’ll need to prepare your cold brew a day in advance.
