    How exactly do you make a starbucks iced coffee sweetened with cream?

    By admin | August 31, 2009

    I have all the ingredients, starbucks coffee, starbucks classic syrup, and half n half. But when I make one, it just don’t taste the same. I’m not sure if I’m brewing the coffee wrong or what. If any one works at starbucks please, please let me know exactly how to do it. I know it can’t be too difficult or complicated, it’s just iced coffee, but the starbucks iced coffee is sooo good! But expensive! Lol thanks in advance for any input on this

      It’s all in the type of coffee you have. Starbucks iced coffee is a blend called Terraza and it isn’t sold in stores (or anywhere that I know of). The closest thing to it is the Gazebo blend, which is only available during summer months. Some stores may have already run out of their supply by now.

      To start off, the coffee is brewed double strength and then ‘doubled’ by adding ice. (one batch makes a total of 4 liters, 2 liters of coffee and ice added [thus, melted] to make 4 liters)

      A grande iced coffee with milk contains four pumps (1 oz)classic syrup, coffee to the first green line, milk (or 1/2 n 1/2) to the second line, and then filled to the top with ice.

      The biggest issue for you will be finding a roast of coffee that you like. Try to stay away from coffees described as ‘earthy’ or ‘spicy’ and go towards ‘bright’ or ‘citrus’ notes.

      I’m sure this might sound a bit confusing, but the coffee world has a lot more to it than most people think :)

      bSsSAJ Good point. I hadn’t thought about it quite that way. :)
