Chilled coffees are naturally refreshing thirst quenchers and an interesting way of preparing a staple beverage. We invite you to experiment with Amber Estate coffee and present a collection of recipes from coffee lovers the world over. A few points to remember:
- Coffee meant for iced drinks must be brewed stronger than normal, as ice and other ingredients will dilute the mixture.
- If your coffee is not to be used for the next hour keep covered and refrigerated.
- Most chilled coffee drinks should be prepared immediately before serving.
