Coffee and tea are both people's favorite drinks, and attention should be paid to the brewing of both drinks. If the brewing method is not correct, it will also affect the taste of coffee. Can I make coffee with cold water?
Some coffee can be brewed with cold water, such as Nestle's iced coffee, but most coffee should not be brewed with cold water, otherwise the coffee is not easy to dissolve and difficult to drink. But it should have no effect on your body, just on the taste.

What sugar is used to make coffee?
Coffee tastes bitter, so many people add some sugar when drinking coffee. There are many kinds of sugar sold in the market, and everyone wants to know what sugar to use for coffee.
Sugar can be divided into white sugar, brown sugar and yellow sugar by color. The different shades of color are due to the different degree of impurity removal in sugar making. White sugar is refined sugar, and its purity is generally above 99%. Yellow sugar contains a small amount of minerals and organic matter, so it has color; Brown sugar is unrefined coarse sugar with a deep color.
Generally speaking, white sugar and yellow sugar are suitable for seasoning in coffee or black tea, and yellow sugar is often used for seasoning dishes. Yellow sugar contains more nutrients and has the function of enriching blood and warming stomach; White sugar is more mellow in taste, cool in nature and better in color.
There are three kinds of sugar in coffee: yellow sugar (sucrose), white sugar (refined sugar) and cube sugar (crystallized refined sugar after compression drying).
The answer to drinking milk tea with white sugar is generally known, but there are many sayings about drinking coffee with white sugar or yellow sugar. Italian coffee from Europe has traditionally put white sugar, even powdered sugar finer than sugar. However, when coffee culture spread to Asia, it first reached Japan, Taiwan Province Province, then Hongkong and even Chinese mainland. The concepts of coffee, sugar and milk are very common, but whether white sugar and yellow sugar are traditional or not has not been said. The choice of sugar can be decided according to personal taste.
As for whether putting white sugar and yellow sugar has any effect on the taste of coffee, the answer is yes. The principle is the same as putting spices in the kitchen. If yellow sugar refers to raw sugar instead of so-called "yellow sugar" dyeing, sugar itself has the sweetness of sugarcane, and adding coffee will make coffee have a little taste of sugarcane and caramel; Refined sugar will only add pure sweetness to coffee.
Yellow sugar is generally thicker than white sugar. Will slow dissolution affect the taste of coffee? The size of brown sugar commonly used in the market has little effect on the taste of coffee. In fact, besides white sugar and brown sugar, you can also try the taste difference of coffee with honey, maple sugar and brown sugar. Even supermarkets sell all kinds of blended coffee sugar. Coffee lovers generally prefer to choose sucrose, because the ingredients are more natural and contain less additives, which is generally considered healthier. On the sweetness of white sugar comes directly, but modern people pay attention to health, and sugarcane sugar with low precision has become the choice of many people.
Cube sugar, also known as semi-cube sugar, generally refers to white sugar blocks, which are made of refined sugar. It is characterized by pure quality, white luster, complete edges and corners, appropriate firmness and not easy to break, but it dissolves in water quickly and the solution is clear and transparent.
Some people say "good coffee without sugar" or "people who can drink coffee without sugar". In fact, tasting coffee without sugar and milk is one of the ways to know the taste of coffee, but we can't judge that people who put sugar and milk will not drink coffee by this method alone. The purpose of putting sugar in coffee is to reduce bitterness, with or without sugar, or with any sugar according to mood. Tasting coffee as a leisurely activity is the most comfortable.
The purpose of making coffee with sugar is, of course, to alleviate its bitterness, so for the problem of adding sugar to coffee, you can choose the right sugar to add according to the above method.
