Foamy Iced Americano, Two Ways (Coffee Beer)
泡沫冰美式咖啡兩款
This iced black coffee looks like a glass of beer because of its thick foam.
▶ Watch the recipe
Before you begin
Make it with espresso and a steam wand, or shake instant coffee and ice in a jar. A transparent serving glass shows the foam settling above the dark coffee.
Method 做法
Pull the espresso
Grind the 18 g beans, distribute the grounds evenly in the basket and tamp. Pull a double espresso, aiming for roughly 36 g coffee in 25–32 seconds as in the video.

Create the espresso foam
Put 100 g ice and the espresso in a steam-safe jug. Use the steam wand near the surface to draw air into the coffee as the ice melts. Stop once a generous foam develops. Pour into a glass partly filled with fresh ice.

Use the instant method instead
Put 100 g ice, the instant coffee and cold water in a sturdy, tightly closing shaker or jar. Shake until the coffee dissolves and froths, then pour into a glass. Use cold water if sealing the container.
