Iced coffee has its origins rooted in various cultures around the world, each contributing to its development and popularity. While the exact origins are somewhat debated, one significant influence can be traced back to 19th-century Algeria, where a refreshing beverage known as Mazagran was enjoyed. Mazagran consisted of coffee, sugar, and water, served over ice. Another notable contributor to the history of iced coffee is Japan, where in the 17th century, Kyoto-style cold-brewed coffee emerged, showcasing a delicate and smooth flavor. Over time, iced coffee gained popularity across different regions and cultures, becoming a beloved drink during warmer seasons or in climates where a refreshing and chilled beverage was desired. Today, iced coffee is enjoyed worldwide, with a variety of preparation methods and flavors to cater to diverse tastes.
