Iced Americano
Iced Americano is a bold and refreshing iced coffee drink that you can make at home. All it takes is espresso and ice!
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup ice divided
- 4 ounces brewed espresso divided
- 6 to 12 ounces cold water divided
Instructions
- Divide up the ice between two glass coffee mugs.
- Make the espresso in an espresso machine, and pour it over the ice.
- Top with cold water and stir to mix everything together.
- Serve.
Notes
- If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can make Instant Espresso with instant espresso granules.
- A classic Iced Americano does not include milk - that's a latte. An Americano is just an espresso made with water.
- Add cold water. The amount is up to you, but typically, it's about 6 to 12 ounces (or more if you prefer a milder taste). I mostly stick with the ice, but if I add water, it's about 3 to 4 ounces because I like a strong coffee. The amount of water you add will depend on how diluted you want your drink to be.
- Espresso Strength: You can make it as strong as you want, but I suggest starting with 2 ounces of espresso per serving and then moving up if you want to.
- A single shot of espresso is about 1 ounce (30 ml). A double shot (often referred to as a "doppio") is roughly 2 ounces (60 ml).
