Toddy Iced Coffee

The hot summer months are some of the most exciting times of the year for fresh seasonal coffee. Central America and African coffees are coming into cafes all over the world. The only problem? You might not be craving a hot cup of Chemex brewed coffee on a 90 degree day.

Fortunately there is a great way to experience unique origin coffee without breaking a sweat. "Toddy" brewed iced coffee is made with room temperature filtered water using a coarse grind and a steep time longer than 18 hours. The result is a concentrated coffee that can be used in a number of ways. At Kaldi's we cut the concentrate with equal parts coffee and cold filtered water over ice to yield a smooth and rich iced coffee. Come into our cafes and experience a unique toddy brew each month as part of our World Tour coffee program!

You can also purchase the toddy brewer pictured above, along with some fresh roasted Kaldi's coffee in any of our cafes and mix up some drinks at home.

Some favorite recipes:
Toddy concentrate with milk over ice. Use slightly more milk than concentrate, it is strong! Also try chocolate milk for an extra rich treat.

Toddy concentrate with tonic water yields a coffee soda, delicious! We like it as a cocktail so use a full cup of ice and 1/3 tonic to 2/3 concentrate.

Toddy concentrate also goes great with our fresh loose leaf teas! Steep two tea bags in 6oz of hot water, creating a tea concentrate. Pour over ice and combine with 3oz toddy concentrate, a dash of chocolate and you've got a great summertime coffee concoction.

Try brewing with different coffees and blends to highlight different flavors in the coffee. Our Espresso 700 turns into a rich, sweet, milk chocolate in the Toddy brewer. Experiment with single origin coffees to create a more complex brew with sweet fruit notes. Come into Kaldi's and let us help you find the right coffee for your needs. Buy as much coffee as you will need for two weeks and visit us often for more fresh roasted coffee!
