The main difference between iced coffee and cold brew is how each drink is prepared. As the names suggest, one is regular coffee poured over ice, while the other is cold the entire time.
Cold brew is made by steeping coarse coffee grounds in cold water for 12 to 24 hours.
Iced coffee is exactly what it sounds like: regular brewed coffee poured over ice. To make it, you brew hot coffee using any brewing method. You can refrigerate this hot coffee or brew it directly over ice.
But what exactly is happening in each of these brewing methods, and how do they result in different flavors? Differences in time and temperature affect the final cup of coffee.
