Notes

Top Tips for making  homemade iced americano

Here are my handy hints to make your iced americano even better:
  • Use high-quality espresso beans to get the best taste and only grind them just before you need them. That ensures they are as fresh as possible.
  • Use filtered water, not bottled mineral water. The flavor of the minerals will unbalance the taste of your coffee.
  • Feel free to experiment with the number of espresso shots and amount of water to find your perfect balance.
  • Add sweeteners like sugar, honey or syrup if you prefer a sweeter taste. Again, you can try different flavors and amounts of sweeteners to find what works best for you.
