Nothing really matches the first iced coffee of the Spring. Though it came well into April here in the northeast, the waiting was worth it. Chilled strong coffee on a clear day with rays of warm sun and a slight breeze has the ability to brighten even the dullest of days. You must take your beverage outside, and it is highly recommended that you have this first iced coffee either in the early morning or mid-afternoon. Other times will work, but are sub optimal, and face it- this moment happens once a year so why cheat yourself.
