Iced coffee is a very popular and familiar drink.

This drink is easy to prepare, but it has excellent taste. The name was given to him by the French word glace. It translates as adjectives - icy, icy, frozen, frozen. Many people know the taste of the classic glaze - this is coffee with a ball of white ice cream.

This is a high-calorie drink, about 150 kcal per cup, but it seems to me that once a week you can pamper yourself, your beloved, with this delicious dessert. The beauty is that we are allowed to improvise with the ingredients when preparing it. If desired, to the classic ingredients of this drink - coffee and, you can add syrups, liqueurs, cocoa, powdered sugar, candy, coconut crumbs, whipped cream, spices.

There are little secrets of its preparation.

For preparation, it is advisable to use medium roasted arabica coffee beans and white ice cream.
A minor touch, but an important one. The drink will taste better if you add a pinch of sugar to it during preparation. You can also enrich the flavor with a pinch of cocoa. Do not add sugar to the finished drink.

Glace attracts us with a contrasting combination of the taste of bitter coffee and cold ice cream, which gradually melts, softens and saturates the drink.

Often the question arises as to whether to write the name of your favorite drink with one or two letters "s". On this score, Wikipedia says that both options have a right to exist. Pronounced softly "la", not "la". The stress is on the last syllable.

The classic recipe is simple and straightforward

For one serving, take:

• 150 ml freshly brewed coffee;
• 50-60 g ice cream, better than ice cream.

To make coffee, you need to take 11 grams of ground Arabica beans and 150 ml of pure water. We cook it as we like it - in a Turk, in a French press, in a coffee maker.

We take a tall transparent glass. Put a ball of ice cream on the bottom. Then pour the strained freshly brewed coffee. If we have espresso, then naturally we do not filter it. Ready! You can decorate our masterpiece with whipped cream and sprinkle with ground cinnamon. And it is possible without additional frills. The taste will be amazing. Serve and consume immediately.

Anyone who constantly cooks noticed that a drink cannot be the same even if it is prepared by the same person. It is always different. Is always! In the sense of a drink, not a person

And its taste depends not only on the variety of ingredients used. Everything is clear here, because the quality of products can be different. And the fat content, and freshness, and the quantity, and the order of the bookmark. Everything matters here.

But the mood of the soul at the time of preparation is everything. A drink prepared in a positive mood will give you more flavor, benefit your body, and be softer than the one you prepare in a gloomy mood.

Down with bad thoughts! We just throw them out of our heads in a landfill. To begin with, I propose to say the following:

"I happily let go of my past. Life is beautiful, and so am I."

No need to fuss and rush. Process is creativity at its core. For example, at first I cooked in a Turk. This is now my espresso machine, a faithful assistant and a great worker in my kitchen. Buzz a little strained and here you are, Tamarochka, a cup of espresso. For a long time, she has been working for me, she is already tired and often breaks down, poor thing.

But in a Turk it is quite another matter. Here, first, you need to twist the coffee grinder with the handles, I did not have an electric one then. Oh, how long ago it was! The grinding is fine, fine, into dust. Pure spring water. The electric cooker, even at the lowest power, quickly completes the preparation of the divine nectar. Turku aside, off the stove and slowly pouring the created potion into a cup. And then add everything that the soul requires. Do not spoil anything!

Enough of the lyrics, let's move on to choosing what will please us the most. I cooked everything with pleasure, tried it myself and treated everyone who was at hand. And at that moment, as always, my husband was at hand.

Sometimes I, and someone practically very often, have no time at all, and the body requires something fragrant, cold and even scalding the insides. It is for this emergency that I propose to use it. You cannot argue with the body. Give him what he asks for immediately. Even in the office, there is no problem pampering yourself with a couple of simple tricks.

For one serving, prepare:

• Cream 10% - one tablespoon;
• Condensed milk - no more than one tablespoon;
• Instant coffee - one teaspoon;
• Crushed ice - one or two tablespoons;
• Water is half a two-hundred-gram glass.

Almost all the ingredients are available for every housewife constantly in the refrigerator.

How to make

Let's start by preparing the dishes, that is, the glass. It must be placed in the freezer for no more than 20 minutes. the role of a beautiful presentation cannot be overestimated. Imagine a tall, transparent vessel that has slightly fogged up after being frozen. Even empty is already beautiful!

Then we mix cream, condensed milk, water, crushed ice and, of course, instant coffee in a mixer. The mass quickly becomes homogeneous, and we fill a chilled glass with it.

Indeed, very quickly, and most importantly, delicious. Agree!

Everything is delicious with nuts. Since childhood, many people know that the daily use of nuts is necessary and important for the body. And there is no need to talk about the value of walnuts and pistachios, this is just an axiom.

Iced coffee recipe with nuts

To prepare one portion you will need:

• Only cooked black coffee - 40 ml;
• Milk with a fat content of 2.5% - 40 milliliters;
• Vanilla ice cream - two balls, 50 grams each;
• Cane sugar - at will and to taste, but not more than 1 tbsp. spoons;
• Chopped walnuts - half a teaspoon;
• Pistachios are half a teaspoon.

Preparation

We find the best glass in our home collection of tableware. We prepare black natural coffee in any way possible. In still hot we put sugar, if there is such a desire, and milk. Stir and cool to about ten degrees. Basically, while you fiddle with the other ingredients, it will cool off on its own.

Pour the resulting mixture into the prepared glass, form two balls of ice cream with a special spoon (I advise everyone to buy it) and carefully put them in the drink so as not to splash ourselves. It is this, in my opinion, that makes the dessert scorching.

Sprinkle with walnuts and pistachios on top. Do not crush, but rather chop nuts with a knife. Very few of them are needed. But how do they decorate the drink and enrich its taste. They make it elegant and sophisticated.

Serve immediately. Time is against the drink. What's next? You can watch a bit how ice cream slowly sinks into nectar and the dessert gradually changes its color scheme. It's time, it's time to take the first sip.

I have long noticed how many dishes are successfully combined with fruits and berries. You can never spoil coffee cocktails by adding them, but only emphasize the unique taste.

Iced coffee recipe with pineapple

To prepare one portion, you need to prepare

• Freshly brewed coffee - 100 ml or 0.5 cups;
• Pineapple juice or canned syrup - 40 ml or 1/5 cup;
• Vanilla flavored ice cream - 2 balls, 50 grams each;
• Pineapple slices fresh or frozen or canned;
• Cream 10% - 50 grams;
• Chocolate chips - one teaspoon;
• Biscuit biscuits or puff pastry tubes;
• Cane sugar to taste

Preparation

If we have pineapple, then we prepare fresh squeezed juice. If we decide to use canned ones, then open the jar with a can opener and pour the syrup in the same amount according to the recipe. Here sugar is already adjusted to your taste. Don't overdo it.

I found a fresh pineapple, so I used it. However, this can be seen in the photo. We prepare coffee according to your favorite recipe. We cool it down. We mix it with juice or syrup, cream, sugar. At the same time, we take out a bowl on a high leg from the cabinet, put two balls of ice cream in it.

Add fresh or canned pineapple pieces. Cooking chocolate chips. I want to emphasize that I like the shavings better. In the photo there is a float with which I usually do it. Note! If you use graters with other blades, you get not shavings, but small nondescript chocolate sprinkles. And the taste, by the way, changes. It is from these seemingly trifles that what pleases and nourishes us is born.

We also add it to the drink for decoration. And the final touch for decoration - we arrange the cookies as our heart desires. you can break them arbitrarily. If small tubes are simply dipped into the drink. Serve immediately with a straw and a spoon.

Iced coffee recipe with vanilla syrup

In order to enjoy this delicious drink, you must have the following ingredients:

• Creamy ice cream or ice cream - 50 grams;
• Whipped milk cream for decoration - 50 ml;
• Freshly brewed coffee - no more than half a glass;
• Vanilla syrup - 30 ml;

Preparation

When the coffee is ready, quickly mix it with the vanilla syrup. Pour the mixture into a prepared glass or glass, add a scoop of ice cream. Pure, no additives or impurities. We crown with the most delicate cloud of whipped cream. You can whip cream and icing sugar in a mixer. I bought a can with them in advance. By the way, it is enough for a long time. Well, very tasty! For those who do not have enough sugar, you can add it at the initial stage.

And my final step is that I offer you a little risk. Those who do not take risks are known ...

Iced coffee flambé for special occasions

This recipe is for festive and mysterious events, meetings taking place in the evening. You can close the windows with blackout curtains during the daytime to get the appropriate effect. It is advisable to serve the drink in complete darkness. Why I will tell you further. You can cook both from instant coffee and from natural. But since I love natural, it is present in my recipe.

We need for one cup:

• Freshly brewed coffee - 40-50 ml;
• Vanilla-flavored sugar - half a teaspoon;
• Vanilla ice cream - two balls, 50 grams each;
• Cognac - 20 ml;
• Sugar in pieces -1-2 pieces

Preparation

As always, we prepare coffee according to our favorite recipe, you can also instant coffee. Add vanilla sugar to the finished drink and leave to cool. We take a high heat-resistant glass, put two balls of ice cream in it. Pour a chilled drink there.

In a small vessel with a long handle, so as not to burn yourself, heat a gram of cognac with sugar cubes over low heat and set it on fire. Pour the burning mixture into the drink. We are careful. Safety comes first.

By the way, for the final chord with a fiery focus, any other alcoholic drink with a strength of 40 degrees or higher is suitable. Naturally, we do not allow children to taste such a drink.

Further, for me, in the process of coffee drinking flambé, it is important to quickly contrive and grab a piece of ice cream until the moment when it is completely absorbed by the drink. I like to taste first sweet and then bitter. Just a bomb, an explosion is a flambe. Surprise and delight of contrasting sensations. In life, everything also happens, with me, at least often. Delight, emotions soar to the limit and bam! disappointment, sobering up from illusions.

Iced coffee is a dessert for all times and for all peoples. Very good in any weather and bad weather too. Harmony and sophistication in one bottle, excuse me, a glass.

Until next time on the blog pages.

Visually, the drink resembles a latte or Viennese coffee, but, unlike them, it is served exclusively cold. In coffee shops, for greater showiness, it is poured into glass cups, glasses or tall glasses with legs, often with a cocktail cherry on top. You can also make a drink at home.

The classic glazed coffee recipe includes an espresso made from natural beans and a few scoops of ice cream. Naturally, like any other popular drink, there are all sorts of variations with the addition of liqueur, egg yolk, whipped cream and spices. Today I will make a glaze with creamy ice cream. A recipe with a photo will help you easily recreate the popular coffee "cocktail" with ice cream in your kitchen. But keep in mind that many factors affect the final taste: the type of grain you use, as well as its degree of roasting and grinding, you cook with or without sugar, what kind of ice cream you add. Even the time that a ready-made glazed coffee will stand waiting for a sample will directly affect its taste. Therefore, do not be surprised if every time you get a slightly different drink, feel free to experiment with additives and surprise your guests with new tastes!

Total cooking time: 20 minutes / Cooking time: 10 minutes / Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

• natural finely ground coffee 3 tsp.
• water 250 ml
• sugar 1 tsp optional
• ice cream 100-120 g
• ground cinnamon 1 chips. optional
• grated chocolate, cinnamon or cocoa for garnish

Preparation

Cooking begins by first grinding the coffee beans into a powder. It is better, of course, to do it yourself, rather than buying a finished product, then the taste and aroma of the drink will be more intense. If this is not possible, then choose the finest grind of coffee, preferably Arabica.



I put 3 teaspoons of freshly ground coffee in a Turk - for two servings. Usually calculated like this: 1 teaspoon for each cup, plus 1 extra spoon for strength. If the Turks are not there, you can brew an espresso in any way you can, for example, in a coffee maker or in a French press. Just do not use instant coffee, the taste will be completely different!



For flavor, I add a pinch of ground cinnamon. Immediately put sugar in - here focus exclusively on your taste, but do not forget that ice cream will also be used. If you add 1 teaspoon, the coffee will be slightly sweet.



I pour cold water into the Turk - drinking water, preferably spring or purified water, because the taste of the water will directly affect the quality of the coffee drink. Stir thoroughly with a spoon and put the container on the stove. I set up the smallest fire. As soon as the foam starts to rise, I immediately remove the Turk from the stove, not allowing the drink to boil. After a minute, I return the turk to the burner, to the minimum heat and repeat the procedure, thus the taste and aroma of the coffee bean will be revealed to the maximum extent.



I completely cool the drink in a Turk (the longer it is infused, the stronger the coffee will turn out, you can put it in the refrigerator). Then I filter it through a fine sieve to remove all sediment, and pour it into cups or into portion glasses.



On top of a slide in each container I spread a portion of ice cream - 3-4 balls per cup. Vanilla or creamy ice cream, creme brulee or ice cream with condensed milk will do. It is very important to use a quality product that is free of palm oil.



For decoration, grated chocolate, ground cinnamon or cocoa powder are traditionally used, a very tasty combination with crushed nuts, slightly dried in a dry frying pan. You can serve the drink in cups or glasses, with teaspoons or with cocktail tubes.

That's all, our homemade iced coffee is ready. The dessert drink is delicious, creamy, delicate and cool. Enjoy your coffee!

Real coffee lovers will not be able to refuse an invigorating drink even in summer. And here a cold glaze comes to their aid. This article will tell you about the composition of this coffee drink and the secrets of its preparation.

A bit of history

Traditionally, it is believed that glazed coffee was invented in France, but there is an earlier legend that such coffee was first prepared in Austria. This is a very interesting story about how the bartender turned on his wit. So, it was a hot summer day, and a young man ran into the cafe, who wanted to drink a miracle drink before a business meeting. Naturally, the barista could not refuse such a pleasure to his regular client and took up work. But here it turned out that the milk had run out. But the young cafe worker was not at a loss and decided to add ice cream instead of milk. The visitor simply fell in love with this coffee and began to order only it, which is why ice cream is traditionally added to the glaze.

Very soon, coffee combined with ice cream spread throughout Europe. And the French have already come up with a name for it - from the French language the word "glace" (glace) is translated as "cold" or "ice". And very soon the drink became popular not only in Europe, but also in North America and East Asia.

Now it is impossible to imagine any coffee shop without invigorating iced coffee. Today, not only in every country, but also in every cafe, there is a personal recipe for making an invigorating drink.

What is the difference?

Despite the popularity and prevalence of this drink, there are people who can confuse the glaze with Irish coffee or latte. As mentioned above, the basis of the glaze is coffee, and its main addition is ice cream, ideally in the form of two balls.

Traditional Irish coffee contains not only strong whiskey, bourbon or scotch, but also whipped cream. Depending on the serving of the coffee drink, you can easily confuse the glaze with Irish strong coffee, but remember that the coffee of real Irish will always be hot, regardless of the time of day or year.

As for the latte, milk and doppio are used for its preparation, that is, a double espresso. The main rule of the latte and the main difference from the glaze is the warm milk poured in. Thus, an Italian latte is a warm coffee drink, but by no means ice. Therefore, if you want to cool down a little, then give your choice of ice-coffee glaze.

Ingredients and calories

The main ingredients in iced coffee are espresso and hot water, but vanilla ice cream is always added to it. But sometimes the barista can start experimenting, and thus banana or chocolate glaze, and sometimes banana-chocolate glaze may appear on the menu.

The list of possible additions to invigorating coffee is very wide and can satisfy every taste. For example, you can add a pinch of cinnamon, a drop of condensed milk, or a teaspoon of whipped cream to a glazed coffee drink. It goes well with glace and liqueurs. If you want a soft drink, then amaretto or hazelnut are great for this purpose, making the taste more intense and almond. If, on the contrary, you prefer strong coffee with alcohol, then you can use whiskey or cognac.

To decorate coffee, you can use powdered sugar, grated white, milk or dark chocolate, coconut, various toppings, such as raspberry or peach.

When it comes to the calorie content of a product such as coffee with ice cream, it is never possible to estimate for sure how many calories you will receive as a result, because a lot depends on the serving size, as well as on the amount of ice cream and its calorie content. After all, each manufacturer makes ice cream in its own way and way. Therefore, the calorie content of iced coffee can be calculated only offhand, it is extremely difficult to accurately determine this value.

So, 450 ml of glaze accounts for about 120-150 kcal, in contrast to Americano, which contains 5 kcal in 200 ml of drink. Ice cream adds such a high calorie content to natural coffee. And for 100 grams of cooling ice there are approximately 4 grams of proteins and fats and almost 20 grams of carbohydrates.

The calorie content of ice cream depends on its type. So, for example, in 100 grams of ice cream 230 kcal, in creamy - 195 kcal, and in milk - 130 kcal. But remember that in ice-coffee glaze, take 2 balls, which is just equivalent to the weight of 100 grams.

But energy is brought to the body not only by ice cream, liquid and coffee, but also by various additives.

The most common additive is sugar. One teaspoon of sugar contains 25 kcal, respectively, two tablespoons of sugar contains 48 kcal, and three - 72 kcal. So if you are on a diet, sugar should be avoided.

The most nutritious addition to coffee is cream. Their energy value directly depends on their fat content and type. For example, one teaspoon of cream powder contains 45 kcal, while liquid 10% cream contains only 12 kcal. In the case of using natural homemade cream, the calorie content of the product can be increased by 85 kcal.

And those with a sweet tooth should remember that there are 35 kcal in a teaspoon of condensed milk, and 75 kcal in the dining room. If you use such milk, which does not include sugar, then the calorie content is reduced by almost 2 times.

When adding milk chocolate or its syrup, add another 15 kcal if using a teaspoon and 40 kcal if using a tablespoon to the existing calorie content.

An oriental spice like cinnamon adds not only a pleasant taste to coffee, but also an extra 20 kcal per teaspoon.

In the case of using not natural ground coffee, but soluble, the calorie content of such a product will not be 4 kcal, but 20 kcal.

How to cook?

Having dealt with the ingredients and their calorie content, a natural question arises, how to prepare an invigorating glaze step by step at home.

To make coffee with ice cream at home, take 2 teaspoons of ground coffee (preferably Arabica, but you can also Robusta), 300 ml of still filtered water and 100 grams of ice cream of your choice. Sugar can be added as desired.

First, you need to prepare a strong espresso correctly. Of course, you can just take 2 teaspoons of instant coffee and pour boiling water over it, but such a coffee drink will not be able to convey all the taste qualities of a real glaze.

So, we take 2.5 teaspoons of roasted ground coffee (if you wish, you can grind it yourself), pour coffee into a Turk or cezve, fill it with water and set it to boil on the stove. While brewing coffee, you can gently stir the liquid with a spoon. It is worth preparing such coffee before the beginning of the boiling process, that is, before the first bubbles appear.

Next, we filter the brewed coffee through a sieve so that there is no coffee grounds left. If you drink iced coffee with sugar, then it's time to add it. Next, take 2 scoops of your favorite ice cream and put them in a coffee container. Then, very carefully and slowly, gradually pour in the freshly brewed drink to the ice cream.

The classic glaze is ready. But for complete pleasure, it remains to make the decoration of the drink.

You can sprinkle it with grated milk chocolate or sprinkle the syrup on top of the ice cream. Insert a thin straw into a mug and enjoy the wonderful aroma and taste of invigorating and cooling iced coffee.

Recipes

As already mentioned, there are a lot of recipes for iced coffee. It depends both on the desires of the customers of the coffee shop, the talent of the barista or your imagination at home in the kitchen. The classic way of making glaze has already been discussed above. Let's now understand its various variations and cooking recipes with the addition of any ingredients and toppings.

With egg yolk

Real coffee lovers will definitely love the taste of the egg glaze. To do this, take natural ground coffee (10-20 grams, depending on the desired strength of the drink), 150 ml of filtered water without gas. Brew coffee and strain it. If you do not want to make coffee for some reason and you have a hot Americano on hand, then it is perfect for our purpose.

While the coffee is cooling, take 2 fresh chicken eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. Mix the yolks with sugar (1.5 tablespoons) or powdered sugar (3 tablespoons). Whisk the yolk mixture with a mixer or blender until frothy. Then carefully mix the whipped yolks with the coffee and put the mug over low heat, ideally in a steam bath.

Stir the coffee and egg mixture regularly, and remove from heat after 15-20 minutes. Leave the coffee drink alone for another 10-15 minutes to cool slightly. Then take a few scoops of ice cream and add it to the coffee.

The egg coffee is ready. For decoration, you can use chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds) and pour over with chocolate topping.

Irish

This recipe is very simple, but a pleasant taste and playful mood will be provided from it.

Take 2 teaspoons of 100% Arabica and 100 ml of water, make strong coffee. Separate the coffee grounds from the liquid and pour into a beautiful whiskey glass. Add 20 to 50 grams of whiskey or scotch tape, depending on your preferences. If you do not like such strong alcohol, you can exchange it for liqueur. Ideally, the alcoholic portion should be 20% of the total coffee beverage.

Add a few ice cubes as desired. Decorate your coffee with ice cream.

Banana

Banana glaze will not leave anyone indifferent, especially since its presentation and appearance differ from the classic drink. We can say that such a banana drink is a coffee smoothie.

To prepare banana glaze, take a teaspoon of coffee, in this case you can make weak coffee, so a mixture of Robusta and Arabica in a 50/50% ratio is suitable. Make coffee, strain it. You don't need to add sugar as banana will taste sweet. Cut the banana into small wedges and add them to the coffee. Add some ice cream.

Creamy

To prepare a delicate creamy glaze, you will need 100 ml of espresso, 3 tablespoons of cream with 35% fat, 2 ice cubes, 50 grams of ice cream, topping if desired.

First, make a strong coffee. Let it cool down to room temperature (20 degrees Celsius). While the coffee is cooling, take a mixer and cream, whisk this dairy product until frothy.

Then take a nice transparent glass and place 2 ice cubes on the bottom. Put ice cream on ice and gently pour the cooled coffee into it. Without stirring, garnish your iced glass with whipped cream. To saturate the taste, you can use raspberry or caramel topping, and chopped nuts to decorate the drink. Ice-coffee glaze is ready.

Lactic

Milk Glaze is a variant of a more dietary creamy drink. Only in this case, instead of cream, we need a glass of fresh pasteurized cow's milk.

Brew a strong coffee and cool it down to room temperature. After cooling it, add milk to the coffee container. You can warm it up a little, but not bring it to a boil. We decorate the coffee and milk drink with ice cream, and the milk glaze is ready. Such a coffee drink not only invigorates, but can also cool on a hot day.

How to serve?

How to properly serve iced coffee is a whole science. After all, you need to choose the right glasses or mugs, know where to put the spoon and whether there is a need for a saucer.

Glace, thanks to its ice cream, can be classified as a dessert drink. It is accepted that such drinks are served in a tall transparent glass with a straw. Such a glass is called harikein. In the absence of such a capacity, you can use an Irish glass to serve the glaze, that is, a glass that is intended for Irish coffee. In the absence of a glass for glace or an irish glass, it is allowed to serve in any tall glass glass, even a mug for a latte is quite suitable.

Then the container with glaze is carefully placed on a small saucer with a lace napkin, and a dessert spoon is placed on the right side.

As for the alcoholic glaze, it is customary to serve such a coffee drink in small glasses for shot-drinks (the volume of such containers is from 40 to 60 ml) with a short tube.

Serving sugar for coffee is also a laborious process. For example, granulated sugar is served in a separate sugar bowl, and this requires a separate teaspoon. Sugar refined sugar is usually served in a separate container with tweezers for it. Also, the glaze can be served along with sticks of sugar, that is, in separate portions, in which case the stick is placed on the edge of the saucer near the glass.

Cream can also be served in separate portions, but the milk jug still looks more aesthetically pleasing.

And real coffee lovers will ask you to serve a glass of clean water without gas to coffee, because a sip of water will help you feel the real taste of coffee by cleansing the taste buds.

What to drink with?

The dessert served with coffee is a very important detail, but many, unfortunately, pay little attention to it, and in vain. After all, a properly selected dessert can enhance the taste of coffee.

The most common dessert served with glaze is chocolate. To emphasize the strength and richness of the taste of the coffee drink, it is better to choose dark chocolate with nuts. By combining glaze and chocolate, the result is a sweet, invigorating aftertaste.

Although chocolate is the most common dessert, it is customary to serve candied fruit for glaze in eastern countries. Candied fruits will help infuse your coffee with floral-fruity notes.

The ideal combination for glaze is cottage cheese desserts such as cheesecake or mascarpone. These light desserts will help make your coffee softer and smoother.

Very often marshmallow or meringue marshmallows are served with iced coffee. These two sweets have the same effect as the curd desserts.

But the main mistake many people make is that coffee is often served with muffins or pies with a rich taste or flavor. Remember, the taste of coffee should not interrupt anything; additives and desserts should only enhance or emphasize it.

Therefore, you should forget about chocolate muffins and cherry tarts along with coffee, leave them for tea. Better give your preference to oatmeal cookies with drops.

Now you know the secrets of making iced coffee, but the main thing is to remember that coffee does not always have a positive effect on the body. In addition to its invigorating effect, it can also be harmful, so do not overuse it.
