How to Make Iced Yemeni Coffee (Fast Method)

October 25, 2026 · Al-Aqeeq Team

Quick answerFor a quick iced coffee, brew double-strength coffee straight over ice. Put 140 g of ice in your carafe, then brew 20 g of medium-fine Yemeni coffee with 160 g of hot water through a pour-over or AeroPress. The ice melts to the right strength and locks in aroma.

This "Japanese-style" iced coffee is ready in minutes and tastes brighter than cold brew.

Steps

  1. Fill the carafe or glass with 140 g ice.
  2. Grind 20 g coffee medium-fine.
  3. Brew with 160 g water at 94°C over the ice.
  4. Swirl, pour over fresh ice and enjoy.

Flavor ideas

  • Add a few drops of rose water or a pinch of cardamom.
  • Sweeten with simple syrup or date syrup (sugar dissolves poorly in cold coffee).
  • Top with cold milk or oat milk.

Frequently asked questions

Can I just chill hot coffee?

You can, but it often tastes flat. Brewing over ice keeps more aroma.

Iced coffee or cold brew?

Iced coffee is brighter and quick; cold brew is smoother and needs overnight steeping.

Which coffee is best iced?

Haraaz Fair Value brings bright fruit; Mocha Yemeni gives chocolatey depth.
