Ice Coffee

Summer is coming. So drinks are going to be very important for us. We like coffee so much but cold coffee has another special place in our deep heart .

There are many different ways to prepare iced coffee. The first option which is considered better takes more time. This is called cold brew. You have to soak ground coffee overnight and then strain it in the morning. Thus the coffee has more rich and not so bitter. In a hot summer day, who can wait so long for a fresh glass of iced coffee? You can rely on heat to do the magic and then cool the coffee and make the iced drink. When making hot coffee you also have two options - espresso or granule instant coffee. 

Espresso is better for some of the versions of iced coffee while others may require instant coffee.

As the name iced coffee suggests, ice is an important ingredient. For some recipes, you can use ice cubes but other recipe are better with crushed ice.

DRINKS

Drinks are an important part of any situation.. In our country, wedding drinks are mostly non-alcoholic. One popular choice is the refreshing sherbet, a cool, sweet, aromatic drink made from concentrated fruit or fruit petals, traditionally mixed with cold water before serving, but may also be served concentrated for that added flavour. You could also use milk to dilute sherbet. It is commonly served in countries like  Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, the Middle East etc. and serving it in weddings, regardless of which programme, is a refreshing idea.
