Iced coffee is one thing you can always count on to brighten your day!

Coffee makes everything better! It can be enjoyed in the mornings, afternoons, and even late at night. It tastes like a treat, it gives you energy and can either cool you off or warm you up. Some people prefer their coffee hot, others prefer it iced, and sometimes it just depends on the day. There are many reasons to love iced coffee, so pour a cup of coffee to sip on and let’s dive into the details!

1. It won’t burn you

Sometimes hot coffee can betray you. Hot coffee can splash out of its cup or mug and burn your hands. And burning your mouth on a hot cup of coffee can really knock the wind right out of your sail. Iced coffee will never do such a thing.   

2. It’s so refreshing

While hot coffee is comforting and cozy, iced coffee is so refreshing. It wakes you up quickly and effectively quenches your thirst any time of the day. 

3. It’s so pretty

Iced coffee is fun, flirty and fast. Whether you brew your own iced coffee or you order it out, an iced coffee is beautifully concocted with a burst of cream and maybe some caramel swirl or whipped cream on top.

4. Easy transportation

Iced coffee is typically served in a tall cup with a straw. These cups always fit in your car or stroller cup holders, and fit perfectly in your hand too. In addition, sipping on a straw is way easier than tilting your head back to get a sip of your coffee.   

5. Iced coffee is just better

Did you know iced coffee has actually been found to be better than hot coffee? Iced coffee has less acid than hot coffee and is easier on your stomach and teeth.   

6. It’s super easy

Iced coffee can be easily made with some coffee saved in the fridge, ice, and cream. There is no scooping, brewing, and waiting with iced coffee. It’s the perfect beverage for people on-the-go.

7. It’s a dessert

Iced coffee is more like a treat than hot coffee. It can be dressed up with whipped cream, caramel, chocolate, cinnamon and so much more. It’s decadent and bold with flavor. It also pairs excellently with pastries, desserts, and breakfast foods.

8. Coffee ice cubes

If you’re an iced coffee lover then you must know about ice cubes made out of coffee. One thing iced coffee does is melt. If your ice cubes melt before you finish your coffee, then it becomes a diluted cup of coffee and that’s no fun. Here’s the trick! Pour some coffee into an ice cube tray and freeze them. When you are ready to make your iced coffee pour your coffee, add the coffee ice cubes, some creamer and voila, no more watered down coffee! 

9. It’s trending

Iced coffee is a TREND. It’s hotter than hot coffee right now and it’s staying that way! And if you haven’t tried cold brew coffee yet, then put it on your to do list for this week. It may change your life.     

10. Iced coffee can turn a bad day around

It’s true! If you’re having a bad day, there’s nothing more rewarding than strolling into a coffee shop and ordering yourself an iced coffee. It’s something we have all done, and it truly works. It boosts your mood and makes you feel like you can conquer the rest of your day.   

The bottom line is that coffee is best hot or cold, but there are many reasons to love iced coffee. The best part about coffee is that there’s so much you can do with it.
