Coffee! Coffee! Coffee!

The American global coffee house, Dunkin’ Donuts, has turned our love for all things coffee into iced coffee.

We now seem to like our coffee cold.

Regardless of how we like our coffee, coffee has many benefits, especially iced coffee.

According to Nature.com, Cold coffee has less acid, making it more flavorful.

It may be easier with a Keurig to make your own iced coffee.

It all plays out in the coffee grounds.

Once the grounds are placed in hot water, they release oils composed primarily of acidic compounds, making our coffee more bitter.

Fun Fact: The United States consumes a quarter of the world’s coffee.

Coffee is the second-largest import, only behind oil.

By some estimates, 10 percent of the world’s population gets all or part of their pay from coffee.

Coffee has taken over the world as the second-highest commodity, with more people consuming coffee than they are consuming water.

It’s your favorite brand of indulgence, cooled down into a refreshing glass of Joe!

I tried making it with other coffee brands, but it didn’t taste like dunkin’ original iced coffee.

I recommend using the dunkin donuts coffee brand if you are seeking the best-iced coffee recipe ever!

Use this Dunkin donuts iced coffee recipe as a basic foundation.

More Tips:

  • To get the most authentic taste, we recommend you use high-quality 100% Arabica coffee beans, like the original. There are two types of coffee beans: Arabica and Robusta. Arabica is smaller and harder to grow but tastes better. Robusta has much more caffeine and is larger and easier to grow.
  • Use the freshest coffee beans. 
  • Store coffee beans in an airtight container in the freezer when not using coffee beans. The airtight container is important because coffee absorbs the smells and flavors of anything around it.
  • Keep your carafe clean. 
  • If you are making iced coffee and don’t have coffee ice cubes, double the amount of coffee grinds you use to make the coffee. (3 Tablespoons for every 6 ounces of water). 
  • Save time and use cold-brew coffee
  • If you have extra coffee left over, store it in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. 
  • Refrigerated iced Coffee has a life of about eight hours after brewing.

Bonus:

Make this beverage “over the top GOOD” by adding a scoop of Hagen-Daz Vanilla Bean of Coffee ice cream.  

Fun Fact:

Dunkin‘ Donuts swirls are made with sweetened condensed milk and flavored with cocoa, vanilla, and other flavors.
