Ingredients

• Coffee (grind: medium-fine)
• Filtered water
• Heavy cream
• Sugar
• Salt (No joke, this is absolutely THE best salt ever!)
• Ice

Step-by-Step Instructions

There are 2 parts to this drink:

• Brewed coffee poured over ice
• Cream froth

STEP 1: Brew coffee.

Use medium-fine grind coffee in a coffee maker to brew.

(If you’re grinding your own coffee, in a Barataza Encore coffee grinder, set it to #18.)

Filtered water will usually make a better tasting cup of coffee than tap water.

To make 2 iced coffees, use 3 tablespoons of ground coffee and 1.5 cups of water.

STEP 2: Lightly whip heavy cream, sugar, and salt.

Whisk together 1/3 cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt using a handheld milk frother until the cream thickens but doesn’t form any peaks.

It shouldn’t take more than 15 seconds.

STEP 3: Slowly pour coffee into 2 cups with ice.

Into a cup with ice, pour the coffee, leaving room at the top for the cream froth.

Make sure your glass can handle hot and cold temperature changes.

STEP 4: Pour cream froth on top.

The lightly whipped cream will float on top for a bit then make its way down.

Stir before drinking.

Expert Tips

• The cream froth can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
• Don’t overwhip the cream froth. You want it to be pourable. If you’ve overwhipped, don’t worry — just add some heavy cream and stir with a spoon.
• Make sure you use a cup that can handle high and low temperatures without breaking.
