Basically, the definition of cold coffee is different all around the globe. In some countries, coffee is brewed and mixed with ice or ice is mixed with the coffee concoction. Then creamer is added and topped with some whipped cream. Some mix the coffee concoction with child cream or milk and topped with cream, In Srilanka and Ireland, some type of alcohol is added to the coffee. In India the definition of cold coffee it bit different. The instant coffee is mixed with chilled milk and ice, Sometimes vanilla flavored ice cream is also added to give texture and smoothness to the coffee. And to finish it off with it is served with some vanilla ice cream.
