Iced coffee is on every coffee shop menu, but over the past decade or so, we’ve seen “cold brew creep” take over. Many coffee drinkers, including myself, might have initially balked at the higher price tag of cold brew versus iced coffee, but by now, anyone who has experienced the difference knows that, well, there’s a difference.
