Please help me with iced coffee

[dawnsessions]

What is the best way to make iced coffee. Should you make the coffee and let it sit at room temp. or put in the refrigerator? Also, when I get blended coffee drinks that incude espreso milk and flavoring, I can't tell how it is done. Is the espresso made and then dumped into the milk and ice mixture, or is it best to have shots of espresso pre-made? Please help!!

Thanks

everyone does things differently;

To provide "iced" coffee which to me means on ice or on the rocks I pour the hot coffee over ice, and sort back into the delivery cup quickly so it doesn't water down too much;

On blended drinks that require espresso I shoot my shots early in the morning and put them in the cooler to chill. I shoot enough for about 3 to 4 hours in the morning and as the morning goes on I shoot replacements for them and chill them - I continue this all day.

I just left a post on another thread regarding iced coffee. Do not use left over coffee othewise it becomes bitter. You need to serve it hot over ice cubes. This is a recipe I use:

1. Brew extra strength coffee using 1 tablespoon to 4 oz. of water
2. Pour over ice cubes
3. Add sugar or cream if desired.
