Iced coffee is a coffee beverage that is served cold. It can be prepared by preparing the coffee normally (for example, in a jug, French press, etc.) and then serving it over ice or in cold milk, or by preparing the coffee cold. If it is prepared hot, sweeteners and flavorings can be added before cooling, since they dissolve more quickly. Iced coffee can also be sweetened with sugar previously dissolved in water.
Iced coffee is available in most coffee shops. In general, iced coffee is prepared with more strength than normal coffee, since it is diluted with melted ice. In Australia, “iced coffee” is a common term for a packaged beverage flavored with coffee and sweetened milk. Iced coffee is made by brewing hot coffee and pouring it over ice; iced coffee is prepared without heat by steeping coffee grounds in warm water. These recipes date back to the end of the 19th century.
In Vietnam, iced coffee (Vietnamese: cà phê đá, lit. “iced coffee”) is a traditional Vietnamese recipe. It is made with medium to dark roasted coffee. The drink is prepared by passing hot water through the grounds into a cup already containing condensed milk. To serve it cold, ice is added to the cup.
Other variants consist of adding ice, sugar or condensed milk. A popular variant is cà phê sữa đá (or nâu đá in the north), which is an iced coffee served with sweetened condensed milk, which is done by putting two or three teaspoons

Iced coffee beverages provide a refreshing way to stay energized, focused, and cool during the hot summer months. Beyond simply fighting off the sweltering heat, iced coffee and cold brew offer several distinct health and lifestyle advantages over hot coffee or sugary alternative drinks.
Key Benefits of Iced Coffee in the Summer
- Instant Body Cooling: A chilled iced coffee directly lowers your body temperature, offering immediate relief and freshness when the sun is blazing.
- Fights Summer Lethargy: The intense heat often causes sluggishness. The caffeine in iced coffee quickly boosts alertness, sharpens concentration, and helps you stay active for summer activities.
- Gentler on Your Stomach: Cold brew coffee is up to 67% less acidic than hot coffee. If you suffer from a sensitive stomach, acid reflux, or heartburn, cold coffee is much less likely to cause discomfort.
- Boosts Metabolism & Weight Control: Caffeine increases your resting metabolic rate, helping your body burn calories more efficiently. It also suppresses appetite, making it a great light beverage to curb midday summer cravings.
- Helps with Fluid Retention: Chilled black coffee acts as a natural mild diuretic. It encourages your body to release excess water, reducing that heavy, bloated feeling that often hits in hot weather.
- Contributes to Hydration: Despite the myth that coffee causes severe dehydration, moderate intake of iced coffee contributes to your daily fluid goals and keeps you refreshed.
- Packed with Rich Antioxidants: Iced coffee contains massive amounts of chlorogenic acid and other antioxidants. This helps fight cell damage, reduces inflammation, and protects your skin against premature aging caused by heavy sun exposure
How to Keep Your Summer Coffee Healthy
To maximize these health benefits, keep these quick expert tips in mind:
- Skip the liquid sugar: Many café iced lattes and blended frappés are loaded with heavy syrups, cream, and sugar, which can cause heavy energy crashes and negate weight management benefits. Opt for a small splash of milk or a pinch of cinnamon instead.
- Drink water alongside it: If you are sweating heavily in extreme heat, you must balance your caffeine intake by drinking plenty of plain water to avoid heat exhaustion.
- Mind your caffeine limit: Cold brews can be highly concentrated. Stick to 1 to 2 cups daily to prevent the jitters, anxiety, or sleeping issues on warm summer nights
The BE-ICED Secret: 100% Highland Arabica & Pure Cacao
At BE-ICED, we redefine the ready-to-drink coffee experience by merging the elegance of global standards with the soul of Vietnamese craftsmanship. Unlike the traditional heavy-caffeine blends of the region, we exclusively select 100% Arabica beans for a smoother, more sophisticated palate.
Why Arabica?
While Vietnam is the land of Robusta, BE-ICED looks higher. We source our beans from the mist-covered highlands of Da Lat, where the cool climate produces Arabica with delicate acidity and floral notes. This choice ensures a “cleaner” taste—less bitter, more aromatic, and perfectly balanced for the modern international consumer.
The Cacao Connection
Vietnam is home to some of the world’s most flavorful cacao, recently recognized for its “Fine Flavor” profile.
- The Blend: In our Mocha and signature recipes, we combine our Arabica with locally harvested Vietnamese cacao.
- The Result: A natural, velvety chocolate undertone that enhances the coffee without the need for artificial syrups. It’s a marriage of two of Vietnam’s most precious crops in one convenient can.
Freshly Manufactured at the Source
To capture the true essence of these ingredients, our beverages are manufactured directly in Vietnam. By roasting, brewing, and canning at the source, we lock in the freshness of the harvest, ensuring that the drink in your hand tastes as vibrant as a fresh pour from a specialty cafe.
