Iced Coffee: The Coolest Way to Enjoy Coffee in Singapore
When the sun blazes and humidity rises, a hot coffee can feel like too much. That’s when iced coffee becomes your best friend — a refreshing, energizing way to keep your caffeine fix cool.
Some might say coffee should always be hot, but iced coffee has earned its place — especially in Singapore’s tropical climate. It’s the drink of a new generation, blending tradition with innovation.
☕ A Short History of Iced Coffee
The first iced coffee appeared in 1840 in Algeria, where French soldiers created Mazagran, a chilled, sweetened coffee drink. With no milk available, they mixed their coffee with water and drank it cold to beat the heat.
When the soldiers returned to Paris, they introduced Mazagran to café owners, who began serving it in tall glasses. The world’s first iced coffee had officially arrived.
Fast-forward to modern times, and iced coffee has evolved into many forms — from cold brew to frappes and Frappuccinos, made popular by Starbucks in 1995.
Why Singapore Loves Iced Coffee
Besides keeping you cool, iced coffee is gentler on your stomach and less acidic than hot coffee — up to 67% less. That means smoother flavour, a naturally sweet taste, and a refreshing finish that’s perfect for warm weather.
And best of all, you can drink it immediately. No waiting, no tongue burns — just chill and sip.
