Japanese iced coffee is a refreshing and flavorful way to enjoy your morning cup of joe. It is made with high-quality coffee beans that are coarsely ground and brewed with hot water. The coffee is then cooled and poured over ice, resulting in a beverage that is both cold and flavorful. Iced coffee is especially popular in Japan during the hot summer months, but it can be enjoyed all year round. There are many different ways to make iced coffee, but the most popular method is the pour-over method. This method results in a smooth and flavorful cup of coffee that is perfect for any occasion.

HOW TO MAKE JAPANESE-STYLE ICED COFFEE
Want high-quality iced coffee in minutes? This method makes it happen by brewing coffee right over the ice. I make mine even simpler by placing a pour-over cone right over a big mason jar. Just add cream, plop in a straw, and morning's made!

Steps:
- Fill the mason jar or carafe with the 2 cups/8 oz./230 g. ice.
- Set a filter in the brewer, set it over the mason jar (if using) for brewing, and add the coffee grounds.
- Bring the water to a boil. Slowly pour just a bit of the water over the grounds - just enough to cause the coffee to expand (also known as "blooming"). Once all of that water has dripped through, slowly pour about half of the remaining water over the top. When that has finished dripping through, slowly pour the remaining water over the top. Let drain completely.
- If using a mason jar, remove the drip brewer. If using a carafe, remove the filter and grounds then pour into a glass. Add ice, cream, and/or sugar if desired. Add additional ice, cream, and/or sugar if desired and stir. Serve immediately.
