Ice Americano

An Ice Americano is a refreshing coffee beverage that's perfect for warm weather. It's made with espresso and cold water, served over ice. Here's how you can make it:

Ingredients:

- 1-2 shots of espresso (about 1-2 ounces)

- Cold water

- Ice cubes

Instructions:

1. Brew 1-2 shots of espresso using an espresso machine or an espresso maker. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use a moka pot or a French press to make strong coffee instead.

2. Fill a glass with ice cubes.

3. Pour the freshly brewed espresso shots over the ice cubes in the glass.

4. Add cold water to the glass, leaving some space at the top for more ice if desired. The amount of water depends on your preference for the strength of the drink. Start with equal parts espresso and water, and adjust to taste.

5. Stir the Ice Americano gently to combine the espresso and water with the ice.

6. Optionally, you can add a splash of milk or a sweetener of your choice, such as sugar or flavored syrups, to customize the flavor to your liking.

7. Serve the Ice Americano immediately and enjoy!

This simple and refreshing beverage is a great way to enjoy the bold flavor of espresso with the cooling effect of ice. It's perfect for hot summer days or whenever you need a pick-me-up. Feel free to adjust the strength and sweetness of the Ice Americano to suit your taste preferences.
