5 Summer Iced Coffee Recipes

Seattle's Best Coffee offers recipes for using cold brewed iced coffee in lattes, mochas, ice cream sundaes and more.

The key ingredient in iced coffee drinks from Seattle's Best Coffee is the cold brewed coffee concentrate, produced by using the cold brewing process with the Toddy® brewing system. A Toddy uses cold water to extract the natural, delicious flavors of coffee and leaves behind undesirable bitter acids and oils. The result: A bold, slightly sweet, a little crisp, super-smooth taste with the added benefit of more than 50% less acidity than conventional brewing methods. Cold brewed coffee is used as the base for Seattles Best Coffee JavaKula™ blended beverages, coffee milkshakes and Hand Shaken ColdBrewed Originals.
