Real iced coffee recipe
Inspired by the coffee culture in Australia and New Zealand, our love of all things coffee has exploded here in Britain. Try starting the day with a refreshing iced coffee instead of your normal brew. You’ll need to prepare it the night (or at least five hours) before, but it’s well worth it as real iced coffee tastes so much better than hot coffee that’s been left to go cold; it’s wonderfully mellow with no hint of bitterness.
