The German iced coffee – or as we call it “Eiskaffee” – is not just ice cubes in some cup of cold coffee. If it doesn’t contain whipped cream and vanilla ice cream it’s not a Eiskaffee. This beverage is very popular in Germany and you can get it in every ice cream parlor and Cafe. If you can get it somewhere in the USA, you are lucky. In case you cannot, it’s so easy to make from scratch! Try it out. Happy Cooking!
