The Iced Americano is a refreshing, bold, and bitter coffee drink! Here’s how to make this simple iced coffee drink at home, from two coffee experts who’ve made it our goal to master all the espresso drinks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup ice
  • 2 ounces (1 doubleshot) espresso
  • 2 tablespoons cold water (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the espresso: Make the espresso using an espresso machine, manual espresso maker, French press, or Moka Pot. Go to How to Make Espresso for instructions.
  2. Add the ice: Add the ice to glass. Pour the espresso over ice. Taste and add cold water, if desired (but the ice sufficiently dilutes the espresso so it’s not required).
