To make sure of this, you just need to choose one recipe for cold coffee and try to cook it. And after the tasting you can already make the final decision.

Cooking Frappuccino

In fact, cold coffee is a cocktail that is prepared with the addition of a wide variety of ingredients. It can be fruit juice, honey, jam, spices and even raw eggs. Any recipe for cold coffee is individual and does not look like the rest. There are many of them.

To begin with, you can consider a recipe for cold coffee called Frappuccino.

To prepare it you need a pre-cooked double espresso, 200 grams of crushed ice, ½ cup cold milk and 25 grams of sugar.

1. To work, you need a blender. All components must be collected in a bowl.
2. Cover with a lid and beat the mixture until the ice turns to small crumbs.
3. Pour the contents of the jug into a tall glass.

Serve this cocktail better with a straw. If desired, chocolate syrup can be added to the mixture . It will slightly change its taste. It turns out "Frappuchino mocha".

We apply a non-standard way

At home, you can try not quite the usual recipe for cold coffee. To do this, you need an ordinary plastic bottle, two coffee filters, a thread, a piece of felt and a pair of scissors. Of the products for this option, only 170 grams of ground coffee is required. The technology of preparation of a drink consists in the following:

1. The bottle needs to cut the bottom and set it with the neck down. You can use an ordinary jar as a stand.
2. The neck of the bottle should be plugged tightly with felt and covered with a lid.
3. Coffee to fall asleep in the filters and tie each of them with a thread.
4. Pour cold water into the bottle.
5. Put coffee in it. In this condition, the structure should stand in a cool dark place for at least 24 hours.

After that, you can try the drink. To pour it into glasses it is necessary through a neck, having unscrewed a stopper. Felt in this situation will act as a filter, detaining large particles of ground coffee.

We use a coffee machine

It is difficult to imagine a recipe for cold coffee from a coffee machine, because this device was originally intended for heating. Nevertheless, with him the preparation of refreshing cocktails is greatly simplified. Take, for example, a variant of cold fragrant coffee, which is borrowed from Indians.

For such a drink you will need:

• 90 ml of espresso coffee;
• 100 ml of yogurt;
• 4 cubes of ice;
• 40 ml of a solution made of sugar and water in a ratio of 1: 1.

Such a drink is prepared in stages:

1. Espresso is brewed first. To do this, simply insert the capsule into the coffee machine.
2. At this time, you can prepare a sugar solution by mixing the ingredients until they are completely dissolved.
3. Now you need to pour all the ingredients into the mixer and beat them there until the creamy mass.

Drink, as a rule, served in small glasses with a capacity of not more than 100 ml. Drink it better through a straw. Although on this account everyone has his own opinion.

Adding alcohol

It does not usually look like a recipe for cold coffee in Greek. This variant differs from the others in that it contains alcohol.

You can prepare this drink in two ways.

In the first case, one serving will require the following set of products: one cup of ordinary freshly prepared black coffee requires 20 milliliters of Ouzo tincture and the famous Greek cognac "Metaxa".

For the second option, you must take in equal quantities of coffee, "Metaxu" and liqueur "Cointreau".

In both cases the same method of preparation is used:

1. First, alcoholic products are mixed together.
2. The resulting mixture is poured with cooked coffee.

It is unlikely that such a drink can be drunk in the morning. The presence of an alcoholic component can play a bad joke. It is better to save it until evening and drink in company with your loved one. Unusual taste and pleasant aroma will help to lead the conversation more liberated.

Aromatic coolness

It is interesting that the recipe for cold coffee "Frappe" was also invented by the Greeks. This despite the fact that the very original name of the product has French roots and is translated as "cool". In Greece and on the island of Cyprus, this drink is very popular.

The history of his appearance is not quite ordinary. It is claimed that it was invented by the representative of the company "Nestle" Yannis Dritsas 60 years ago. During a major fair, one of the workers wanted to make his own coffee. But not finding anywhere else hot water, I decided to mix all the ingredients in a mixer. And the enterprising boss took an unusual recipe for armament. So the first "Frappe" appeared in Europe. There are many options for its preparation with the addition of ice cream, juice, chocolate or alcohol. Everyone can choose the one that is more to his liking. To decorate such a drink, as a rule, cocoa, cinnamon or grated chocolate is used. One of the most unusual recipes is peach "Frappe". For work you will need:

• 600 grams of pulp of fresh peaches;
• A glass of ice cubes;
• 0.5 liters of cow and coconut milk;
• 100 grams of sugar;
• Vanilla stick;
• 8 grams of cinnamon (for decoration).

Preparing the drink in stages:

1. First you need to chop the fruit.
2. Milk with vanilla bring to a boil, and then cool.
3. Mix all the prepared ingredients with a blender.
4. Mass pour on glasses, in which you must put crushed ice beforehand.

The finished product can only be decorated with cinnamon. After that, it can be safely served guests.

Milk tenderness

The recipe for cold coffee with ice cream is better known to everyone as "coffee glas".

For its preparation, only three components are needed:

• whipped cream;
• ice cream;
• Freshly made coffee.

The technology is simple:

1. We need to make coffee. You can use a Turk or a coffee machine for this.
2. After that, the product should be cooled to about 10 degrees. Free time can be spent on whipping the cream. It is better to do it yourself, because such products from the store, as a rule, are prepared from vegetable raw materials. They are usually less delicate and not so fragrant.
3. Put ice cream on the bottom of the glass.
4. Pour coffee on it.
5. Decorate the dish with cream. This must be done at once, until they have not yet settled.

Such a drink is usually served in a special glass cup on a leg with a handle. And next to the saucer should lie a tea spoon. Drink it better through a straw.

Drink with fruit aroma

Such a drink is able not only to quench thirst, but also to give courage and to replenish in the body a supply of useful vitamins A, C, B and E.

To make it, you need to have on your desktop:

• 20 grams of cream fat content of 20 percent;
• a little sugar;
• 50 grams of fresh espresso;
• 50 grams of orange juice.

The whole process takes place in three stages:

2. Then add the juice, and then pour the resulting mass into a glass.
3. Carefully pour cold coffee on the knife edge. He must sink down.
