Summer for sure isn't done yet so there are days (many in fact) when I crave for a cold caffeinated drink over something hot. illy Cold brewed iced coffee is my go to drink these days.
I always made cold coffee or frappe but that gets too heavy and drinking that everyday may not be best option. Finally discovered the Cold brew method of making coffee and totally hooked. It is super easy and effortless.

illy coffee is the perfect choice for using in cold brew. Its rich, smooth, high quality and perfect to give you the required kick during this hot summer.
If you haven't tried cold brewing your coffee yet, you should. Its a game changer! You whip up a big jar on weekend and you have your smooth and perfect coffee ready in the refrigerator for a week or two. Use it for hot or cold drink. Saves tons of time plus coffee brewed this way is less bitter and acidic.
illy cold brew way of making coffee is extremely easy. You basically add your coffee and water to the cold brew maker and let it steep for 12-24 hours, filter and you have your cold brewed coffee concentrate ready. Its good to be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can use it hot or cold.
My go to way this summer is, fill your favorite glass with ice, pour 1 part of illy cold brew coffee concentrate with 2 parts of water over it, add splash of milk or cream and sweetener of choice and voilà you have a dream drink ready. Sip sip!
Love pairing my illy cold brew iced coffee with favorite summer fruits or muffins for that ideal morning or evening snack.
