As much as I love cold brew coffee, flash brew coffee (a brewing technique when you chill the coffee immediately upon brewing by brewing over ice always has a leg up for me). It does a much better job capturing the aromatics and complex flavor notes in a coffee better than the long, slow brew of cold brewing. One of my favorite iced coffee recipes is this easy and effective iced AeroPress recipe from Alexander Mills. Alex does a great job of making coffee information very accessible and I love his website and Instagram feed.
