This Japanese Iced Coffee Recipe Is Faster To Make Than The Regular Cold Brew

If you’re a big fan of cold brew, here’s a new iced coffee recipe that you might enjoy! Japanese iced coffee is a faster-to-brew version of the regular cold brew, with enthusiasts claiming that the iced coffee is better than cold brew. Japanese iced coffee can be made in under ten minutes, as The Huffington Post details: 

“I think it is a superior method to cold brew, since you get a chance to unlock more flavor from coffee compounds with the hot water extraction, while still getting an equivalent body as if it were a cold brew,” said Julie Nguyen, co-owner of Contra Coffee and Tea in Orange, California.

The name derives from a method that’s been used in Japan since the 1920s, but it also refers to the use of Japanese coffee equipment, like Hario products, to brew it. Some coffee shops refer to this method of making coffee as flash-brewed, flash-chilled or just iced coffee.
