What Was The First Iced Coffee?
Especially during the hot summer months, it’s nice to be able to enjoy a cup of coffee without feeling overheated by it. Iced coffee has undoubtedly changed our coffee experience. But what was the first iced coffee?
The earliest iced coffee we know of was made – ironically- in the heat of battle. In the year 1840, the French military was deep into a 17-year-long conquest of Algeria, battling against both Arab and Berber forces. When they ran out of milk, they added water to their coffee and opted to drink it cold to help combat the hot weather they were dealing with. When veterans of this battle returned to France, they suggested this type of coffee drink to cafe owners. Soon, cafe owners began to serve it and called it café mazagran – after the Battle of Mazagran, during which the drink was invented.
Today, coffee lovers still enjoy iced coffee as a way to keep cool when it’s gotten hot out. You can get your next iced coffee here at Cafe Delirium!
