True coffee gourmets are not used to giving up their favorite drink, even in the hot summer. However, not everyone will drink a hot Americano or cappuccino on a hot day. That is why on the menu of coffee shops you can find coffee drinks that will give you coolness and invigoration; ice cream is one of them. This drink is worthy of close attention, and therefore we decided to devote today’s conversation to it. You will learn what iced coffee is and learn how to prepare it.
France is considered the birthplace of iced coffee and there are many lovers and fans of this aromatic coffee drink there. Nevertheless, it is often said that glass first appeared in Austria. Personally, it seems to me that it doesn’t matter at all who was the first to prepare this drink, what’s more important is the fact that it is currently popular everywhere.
Iced coffee - what is it?
Glace (French - glace) is a word borrowed from the French language, which means something frozen, chilled. This coffee drink is black coffee combined with a scoop of ice cream. The recipe for making iced coffee is simple, although it has a couple of nuances.
Before moving directly to the methods of preparing the drink, let’s figure out how to correctly write “glaze” or “glaze”. Glasse is a word of French origin; there is no double “s” in the original language; therefore, it should not exist in Russian either. At the same time, the norms of the Russian language allow the spelling of both “glace” and “glase”.
Composition of iced coffee
Iced coffee is one of the options for cooling cocktails. It must contain ice cream, and the drink must be cooled before adding a scoop of ice cream.
Main components of glasse:
- coffee - it must be natural, medium or strong roast from Arabica varieties;
- ice cream – it is recommended to choose ice cream or cream. Flavored ice cream can overpower the coffee aroma;
- syrup and other additives are used to taste;

Iced coffee recipes
Preparing a French drink will require a careful approach to the selection of coffee beans, ice cream and adherence to exact proportions.
Classic iced coffee
A classic drink with ice cream is made from natural coffee; depending on the preferred strength of the drink, choose espresso or Americano. It can also be prepared using instant coffee, but the aroma and taste will be inferior to a drink made from natural coffee beans. To obtain a rich, refined taste, it is better to choose medium or strong roasted finely ground Arabica beans.
To prepare you will need:
- brewed coffee - 100 ml;
- ice cream - about 30 grams;
- syrup or sugar - 2 teaspoons;
- grated chocolate;
How to cook:
- Take natural coffee and brew a double espresso or Americano;
- cool the drink. If you brew coffee in a Turkish coffee pot, strain the coffee through a sieve to prevent small particles from getting in;
- pour syrup into the bottom, then cooled coffee;
- Place ice cream on top in a 3:1 ratio. For example, if you brewed 120 ml of Americano, then add 40 grams of ice cream;
- as decoration, you can grate chocolate or sprinkle with cinnamon - the drink is ready;
If you replace natural instant coffee with an unnatural analogue, you are unlikely to get a rich aroma.
White glass
Iced white coffee is a popular type of drink. Its taste is more delicate and soft compared to other recipes.
To prepare you will need:
- freshly brewed strong coffee - 200 ml;
- creamy ice cream or ice cream - about 30 g;
- grated chocolate and cinnamon;
- milk about 2% fat - 200 ml;
How to cook:
- brew strong coffee;
- cool it and then mix it with milk in proportions of 1 to 1. The milk must be cold and of medium fat content (2.5-3%);
- pour coffee into a cup and put ice cream on top;
- sprinkle with grated chocolate and cinnamon.
This drink is ideal for drinking in the hot summer. You can experiment and add different flavors of ice cream, for example, one scoop of vanilla, the other of chocolate.
Iced coffee with cream
The good thing about iced coffee is that anyone can make it and bring something of their own to the cocktail. You can play with the proportions of the drink's ingredients, changing the taste towards more or less astringency. Iced recipes are replete with all sorts of combinations of ice cream, cream, milk and coffee.
An interesting cocktail is obtained by combining whipped cream and ice cream with the addition of chocolate syrup.
To prepare you will need:
- espresso coffee - 100 ml;
- creamy ice cream - 50 g;
- granulated sugar - 2 teaspoons;
- whipped cream - 3 tbsp. spoons;
- chocolate chips - 1 teaspoon;
- chocolate syrup - 2 teaspoons.
How to cook:
- brew strong coffee and cool it;
- mix fine granulated sugar with whipped cream to make the consistency dense and thick, otherwise everything will “fall apart” on the surface of the drink;
- pour some chocolate syrup inside the cocktail cup;
- pour coffee on top and garnish with whipped cream;
- Place a scoop of ice cream on top and sprinkle the drink with grated chocolate.
Product composition
Fast food made from the freshest vegetables and 100% meat is a myth propagated by McDonald's advertising campaigns.
Popular McDonald's specialties are produced industrially and delivered frozen to restaurant kitchens. At the point of sale, sandwiches are only heated up, and nuggets, pies and potatoes are fried. They are sold hot and create the illusion of food being prepared in front of the visitor.
We invite you to watch a video that talks about burger meat.
The appetizing appearance of fast food, which lasts for a long time, is the merit of natural and artificial food additives. They are present in all hits of “fast” cuisine.

Origin story
If we talk about the history of the origin of this cold cocktail, it is not reliably clear.
Many believe that the birthplace of the drink is France, since it was in French coffee houses in the mid-twentieth century that the classic glasse as we know it today was brewed. According to another version, cold and strong glass was first invented in the mountains of Austria, and only then came to France, and also spread first to other European countries, and then throughout the world. There is another legend, according to which the drink appeared in Austria. They say that one Austrian was in a hurry to get to work, but on the way he stopped at a coffee shop and ordered a lette. The barista immediately began preparing the order, but discovered that the main ingredient - milk - had run out. There was no time to go get a new one, so he suggested that the client replace the milk with ice cream and also serve the drink cold. Since the day was hot, the Austrian agreed with pleasure. He liked the coffee so much that he ordered it throughout the summer, making it a signature drink for the coffee shop.
However, despite the abundance of legends and rumors, we cannot reliably know who and where first prepared cold coffee with ice cream.
On a note! The drink gained such popularity that a shade of hair dye Syoss Gloss Sensation “Cold Tone Gloss” was even named after this drink.
What is the difference between a latte and an iced glass?
Latte and iced coffee cocktails are similar in many ways: they have a milder taste than standard coffee, contain milk in their recipe (in some versions of iced ice), and are similar in how the drink is served. Still, these are two different cocktails, differing both in the method of preparation and in the components included in their composition.
The latte is prepared on the basis of double espresso and frothed milk in proportions of 1 to 3. The milk is whipped until a thick, dense foam is formed using the cappuccino maker built into the coffee machine. You can read how to make a latte without a coffee machine here.
Glace is a coffee based on double espresso or Americano and ice cream in a 3 to 1 combination. That is, there is no milk in the traditional glace recipe. Ice cream replaces it. There are different ways to make ice cream that involves adding a small amount of milk to the coffee along with a scoop of ice cream.
Latte
A milk drink with a subtle espresso aroma and delicate milk foam.

How to drink iced glass
It’s best to drink glasse chilled. To serve a French cocktail, tall glass glasses are used, in which latte or Irish glasses are served. Be sure to place the glass on a saucer and put a teaspoon and a straw on it.
According to the rules, coffee dessert is not stirred, but the top layer is eaten with a spoon, and then the coffee is drunk through a straw.
Iced coffee has a low strength, so it is well suited for the afternoon and is consumed after meals, sometimes instead of dessert.
Glace is a delicate coffee drink with a refined aroma. By improvising with additives and proportions, you can get that perfect taste that suits you.
What is the correct name for the drink?
Many coffee lovers are at a loss as to how to correctly call this drink: “glaze” or “glaze”? Many difficulties arise with how this word is spelled correctly, as well as where to place the emphasis when pronouncing “glass”. Such problems are not surprising, because foreign words translated into our language often do not obey our usual norms of both pronunciation and spelling.
Translated from French, “glace” means “ice”, “frozen”, which eloquently reflects the properties of this coffee cocktail. In the original, “glase” has only one “s”. But for ease of pronunciation, the consonant is often doubled, so pronouncing and writing the name as “glace” will also be correct.
As for the correct stress, it should fall on the last syllable, which is typical for words that came into the Russian language from French.
Harmful food from McDonald's
3 reasons to reconsider the place of fast food in the daily diet:
In the McDonald's kitchen, "waste" frying oil is reused many times.
Sweets and wheat dough are perceived by the body in the same way. The feeling of fullness after consuming fast carbohydrates does not last long. They are instantly absorbed and just as quickly deposited on the body in the form of extra pounds.
Possible negative consequences
Abuse of food from McDonald's is fraught with dangerous phenomena for the body:
The harmful effects of food “chemicals” have been experimentally proven. Volunteers ate exclusively McDonald's food for several months. The results of all experiments are the same - excess weight and a diseased liver.
Additional Information
Cooking features
As you understand, there are a lot of variations of preparing ice cream at the moment. But in any case, general principles must be observed.
- If you make coffee without using a coffee machine, be sure to strain it to eliminate any fine particles.
- Most recipes for making iced glass are based on cold coffee. You need to cool it at room temperature, only then put it in the refrigerator. If you place very hot food there, you risk damaging the equipment.
- You can choose any type of coffee to suit your taste. The recommendation is to choose medium roast beans (what else are there?). This way you will eliminate excess bitterness in the taste of the drink.
Calorie content
The number of calories in iced coffee directly depends on what ingredients you use (see how many calories are in coffee with milk).
