## Summary

A proper iced Americano: a strong, short instant-coffee shot poured over ice and lengthened with cold water, so it stays bright rather than watery.

## Description

The difference between a good iced coffee and a watery one is simple: make the coffee strong and short first, then lengthen it over ice. Dissolve a double dose of instant coffee in just a little hot water for a concentrated shot, pour it over a full glass of ice, and top up with cold water. The melting ice does the diluting, so it ends up just right rather than weak.
