I didn't grow up with cold coffee in the home. My mamá drank her coffee hot no matter what. Then I started seeing all these frothy, candy-looking concoctions coming out of coffee retailers and I tried them, I liked them, but not for every day.

Of course you can buy your iced coffee at your favorite purveyor or you can make your own to enjoy in the comfort of your own home. I've got 5 iced coffee recipes to keep you cool this summer, not to mention caffeinated!
