Cold Brew vs. Iced Coffee: Understanding the Difference

While cold brew and iced coffee are both cold coffee beverages, they differ in their brewing methods and flavor profiles. Cold brew is prepared by ground coffee in cold water for 12-24 hours which results in a smoother, less acidic coffee concentrate. This is then mixed with cold milk or water to make a refreshing cold brew beverage. Cold brew has a distinctly rich, bold flavor compared to standard iced coffee. On the other hand, iced coffee is prepared by regular hot brewing coffee strong and then letting it chill.It can be slightly more acidic than cold brew.
