Coffee goes cold: How to beat the heat without skipping the caffeine
We Brits love our coffee—whether it’s the first sip that kickstarts our day or an afternoon pick-me-up. But when the sun decides to show up (even briefly), the idea of a steaming mug can be a bit much. That’s where iced coffee comes in. Refreshing, energising, and endlessly customisable, cold coffee has gone from café curiosity to a summer essential.
While many are familiar with tossing a shot of espresso over some ice, there’s a whole world of cool coffee creations out there. From sweet and creamy to bold and boozy, these recipes prove that summer and caffeine are a match made in (sunny) heaven.
