As coffee gradually becomes part of people's daily lives, many office workers want to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee to recharge during their busy work schedules. In this case, drip bag coffee is an excellent choice. Below, FrontStreet Coffee will demonstrate the process of making drip bag iced coffee, as well as how to use drip bags to make cold brew.

Prepare one drip bag, some ice cubes, and a cup of about 200ml, and we can start brewing our drip bag iced coffee~

Step 1

How to Make Drip Bag Iced Coffee

Step 1: Tear open the seal of the drip bag and hang it on the cup rim.

Step 2

Step 2: Pour a small amount of hot water, just enough to moisten the coffee grounds. (FrontStreet Coffee has tested that 25 grams of water, just enough to cover the coffee grounds, works well. Office water dispenser temperature is typically 90 degrees and can be used directly; if using freshly boiled water, let it sit for one minute after boiling before use.)

Step 3

Step 3: Wait for the coffee liquid to finish dripping, then pour hot water again until it nearly reaches the drip bag opening. (FrontStreet Coffee has tested that after this water addition, the total water amount should be 110 grams, meaning a water-to-coffee ratio of 1:11)

Step 4

Step 4: Wait for the coffee liquid to finish dripping, then remove the drip bag.

Step 5

Step 5: Pour the coffee liquid into a cup with an appropriate amount of ice cubes, shake gently to ensure the coffee liquid makes full contact with the ice and cools down quickly.

Step 6

And there you have it - a convenient and quick cup of drip bag iced coffee is complete!!!!!!!!!

You can drink it directly to experience the smoothness and richness of cold brew coffee, or you can add a few ice cubes to slightly dilute the coffee concentration, further enhancing your taste buds' perception of flavors while keeping the coffee at a low temperature.
