It’s so simple, in fact, that I admit I was a little skeptical about how good kori-kohi could be when I first heard about it. But after trying it out, I am a total convert: I can honestly say this is one of the best iced coffees I’ve ever had (and I’ve had kind of a lot of iced coffee). The magic is the coffee ice cubes—while regular iced coffee gets watered down and more insipid-tasting as you drink it, this coffee gets better, so your last sip is the most delicious. Here’s how to do it at home.
How to Make Kori-Kohi Iced Coffee at Home
1. Brew some coffee
Megan O. Steintrager
2. Freeze your coffee
When the coffee has cooled slightly, pour it into an ice cube tray and freeze until solid (at least 8 hours).
3. Put the ice cubes in a glass
Crack those cubes out of the tray and stick them in a glass. Choose a sturdy pint glass like the one shown here—and make sure not to add milk that’s too hot in the next step—to avoid potential breakage. A mason jar, heatproof coffee cup or stainless-steel pint cup would also work well. I used a full tray’s worth of coffee cubes in my glass.
4. Pour warm milk over the cubes, stir and enjoy!
If, like me, you find you want to constantly stir the coffee while drinking, a metal straw is perfect—you can get apack of 4 for $7.99from Williams Sonoma.
