I often wondered why I enjoyed drinking iced coffee at Japanese restaurants more so than any home brew I made or at American cafes. After watching a video on making iced coffee, I think I know why. It's all in the temperature. .
"Huh," you say while scratching your head.
Apparently in order to lock in the aromatics and sweetness found in Japanese iced coffee, it must be flash-brewed first rather than made hot, allowed to cool then pour flat over ice cubes. Still confused?
