What each ingredient does
- Strong brewed coffee
- Provides the main coffee flavour; extra strength keeps the taste bold after the ice melts and dilutes it.
- Cracked ice
- Chills the drink quickly and gradually melts, adding water that softens the coffee's strength.
The step that matters
Brew the coffee stronger than usual. Ice melts into the coffee as it is served, diluting its flavour. Brewing extra strong offsets this dilution so the drink still tastes like coffee.
