Iced coffee

In Australia, "iced coffee" is a common term for packaged coffee-flavored and sweetened milk beverage.

In South Australia, Farmers Union Iced Coffee has outsold Coca-Cola and is one of the state's biggest brands.

Other brands include Breaka, Big M, Brownes Chill, Moove, Masters, Dare, Max, Fleurieu, Rush, Oak and Ice Break.

A June 2016 study by research firm NPD found that the popularity of iced coffee drinks had increased by about 16 percent over the same period a year earlier.

Ice cream is added to the coffee, as are sugary additives such as vanilla, cinnamon, or dulce de leche.

The most widespread form of iced coffee in supermarkets is a canned version from a variety of brands with different flavours such as Cappuccino and Espresso.

In the Salento region of Apulia, this was perfected by brewing the espresso freshly, adding the desired amount of sugar or almond milk and finally pouring it into a whiskey glass filled with ice cubes right before being served, known as Caffè in ghiaccio, or coffee in ice.

Affogato (espresso poured over a scoop of vanilla gelato or ice cream) is also served, typically as a dessert.

[16] In Japan, iced coffee (アイスコーヒー, aisu kōhī) has been drunk since Taishō period (around the 1920s) in coffeehouses.

The volume of hot water is reduced to account for the dilution of the coffee by the melting ice.

Thai iced coffee can be served with whipped cream on top for a layered effect and garnished with cinnamon, vanilla or anise.

Starbucks specifically uses the double-strength method in which the coffee is brewed hot with twice the amount of grounds.

Unlike the cold-brew process, this method does not eliminate the acidity inherent in hot-brewed coffee.

The drink is made by passing hot water through the grounds into a cup that already contains condensed milk.

[22] This is done by putting two to three teaspoons or more of condensed milk into the cup prior to the drip filter process.
