Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 cup of coarsely ground coffee beans
- 4 cups of cold water
- Ice (for serving)
- Optional: milk, sugar, or flavorings
Equipment You’ll Need
- Ninja coffee maker
- Ninja iced coffee carafe
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Stirring spoon
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Grind the coffee beans. For iced coffee, you’ll want to use coarsely ground coffee beans. This will help to prevent the coffee from becoming too bitter.
2. Add the coffee grounds to the Ninja iced coffee carafe. The Ninja iced coffee carafe has a built-in filter, so you don’t need to use a separate paper filter.
3. Add the cold water to the carafe. Fill the carafe to the 4-cup line with cold water.
4. Stir the coffee grounds and water together. This will help to evenly distribute the coffee grounds and prevent them from clumping together.
5. Brew the coffee. Place the carafe on the Ninja coffee maker and brew the coffee on the “Iced” setting.
6. Let the coffee cool. Once the coffee has finished brewing, let it cool for a few minutes before serving over ice.
7. Serve the coffee over ice. Fill a glass with ice and pour the cold brew over the ice. Add milk, sugar, or flavorings to taste.
Tips for Making the Perfect Cup of Iced Coffee
- Use high-quality coffee beans. The quality of your coffee beans will have a big impact on the flavor of your iced coffee. Choose high-quality beans that are freshly ground.
- Use the right grind size. For iced coffee, you’ll want to use coarsely ground coffee beans. This will help to prevent the coffee from becoming too bitter.
- Use cold water. Using cold water will help to extract the flavor from the coffee beans without making the coffee bitter.
- Let the coffee cool before serving. Once the coffee has finished brewing, let it cool for a few minutes before serving over ice. This will help to prevent the ice from melting too quickly.
- Add milk, sugar, or flavorings to taste. Iced coffee is a versatile drink that can be enjoyed with or without milk, sugar, or flavorings. Add your favorite ingredients to taste.
Variations on Iced Coffee
- Cold brew iced coffee. Cold brew iced coffee is made by steeping coffee grounds in cold water for 12-24 hours. This results in a smooth, less acidic coffee that is perfect for iced coffee.
- Nitro iced coffee. Nitro iced coffee is made by infusing cold brew iced coffee with nitrogen gas. This gives the coffee a creamy, foamy texture that is similar to Guinness beer.
- Vietnamese iced coffee. Vietnamese iced coffee is made with strong coffee that is brewed with condensed milk. The coffee is then served over ice with additional condensed milk.
