A tall, cold iced americano may just be one of the best drinks of summer. It is refreshing, cold and also energizing. An iced Americano is also a little different than a regular iced coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>What is an Americano?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An americano is very similar to a regular brewed coffee. It is actually supposed to mimic the taste of a brewed coffee! Let me tell you a little bit about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"homemade<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In most European countries, espresso drinks are much more popular than brewed coffee. It is easier to find a shot of espresso than a brewed cup of coffee. Brewed coffee is much more popular in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The americano was created to be like the popular American drink<\/a>. It is essentially espresso that is diluted water. Espresso plus hot water gives you a drink just like a brewed coffee<\/a>. It weakens the flavor of the espresso to be just like a regular cup of coffee. It is a great way to enjoy a caffeinated drink that is like brewed coffee when you only have espresso around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One key to remember is there are different types of espresso shots. For example, a long shot is 1 part water and 1 part espresso. A ristretto is 1 part espresso and 1 part water making it stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have the choice of a long shot vs ristretto for making an Americano, use a ristretto which will make your drink more potent and tastier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>What is an Iced Americano?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An iced americano is chilled water and espresso mixed together. It is a great replacement for iced coffee and can actually be made faster than an iced coffee. Let us tell you all about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An americano is just espresso and water. One quick little trick to make an iced americano is to fill a glass with ice then pour your hot brewed espresso over the ice. The ice will melt into water, chill the espresso and give you the perfect americano! So simple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your local coffee shop doesn\u2019t have iced coffee (some shops don\u2019t have iced coffee on hand in the winter), ask for an iced americano instead. It is a great way to make a very fresh, iced coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/a>How to Make Espresso at Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Not everyone is lucky enough to have an espresso machine at home. If you do have an espresso machine, then you know exactly how to make home brewed espresso<\/a>! If you need a different way to brew espresso at home, we can help! Take a look at these few ways to make espresso at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Aeropress<\/strong>- The Aeropress is a handheld press that looks similar to a French press coffee pot. The Aeropress<\/a> uses hot water and espresso grounds to make the perfect shot of espresso. Simply add the coffee grounds and hot water, let them sit for a minute then press the grins to the bottom of the machine. The result is a perfect, strong shot of espresso that will taste great in your iced americano recipe.<\/li>
    2. Instant Espresso<\/strong>- There are some instant espresso coffees<\/a> that you can buy in the grocery store. Instant espresso powder dissolves directly into water. You can simply measure the powder into the hot water, stir and enjoy! This is a very fast way to make an iced americano without an espresso machine.<\/li>
    3. Keurig<\/strong>- Many newer Keurig machines<\/a> have an espresso shot button which will make a perfect espresso shot using a k cup. If your keurig does not have an espresso shot button, try selecting the smallest size brew and using the \u201cstrong\u201d setting on the machine. This will brew an ultra powerful coffee that can be used to make an iced americano.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
