When the summer heats up, coffee lovers crave something a little less steamy and a little more refreshing. Iced coffee fits the bill perfectly. For some, that means driving to the nearest chain, dropping a bundle, and leaving quality to chance. But you can save time and money – and the planet – on a superior brew by making it at home, exactly the way you like it.
The tag line to this video is, no matter where you are, if you can brew hot water, you can have Steeped Coffee!
The award-winning coffee experts at Steeped Coffee have some tips on preparing the perfect iced coffee.
Their simple method requires no gadgets, no expensive equipment, no mystery instant powders, and no wasteful pods.
With a pack of single-serve Steeped Coffee, a great-tasting and sustainable glass of cold summer happiness is just a few minutes away.

According to the team at Steeped, the secret to a classic iced coffee is a well-crafted ‘coffee concentrate’. A good concentrate is also the basis for many other refreshing coffee drinks we associate with summer sipping.
First, we’ll cover the recipe for Steeped Coffee Concentrate, and then we’ll dive into all the different variations of iced coffee you can create using that concentrate.
How to make Steeped Coffee Concentrate
Ingredients:
For each serving, you’ll need
1 Steeped Coffee Pack
10 oz. mug
Filtered water
Directions:
Heat filtered water to 205 degrees, or just below boiling
Place a Steeped Bag at the bottom of a standard 10oz mug
Pour hot water over the Steeped Bag until the mug is half full
Dip and dunk Steeped Bag 20 to 30 times over 1 minute
Leave the Steeped Bag in, and let steep for 5 to 7 minutes or more to taste
Remove Steeped Bag. Your Steeped Coffee Concentrate is now ready for one of our 7 recipes below.
Pro Tips
To serve guests, make several batches of Steeped Concentrate in multiple cups. You can always store Steeped Concentrate in the fridge for later.
Freeze Steeped Coffee Concentrate in ice cube trays. Use coffee cubes instead of regular ice cubes to avoid diluting your beverage.
Everyone knows the best way to enjoy iced coffee is through a straw. Be kind to the environment – buy reusable, dishwasher-safe metal straws!
