As others already said, this article really confuses "cold brew" and "iced coffee".

I personally like it very much with Tonic water. Especially in summer. Everybody who also likes Gin Tonic should try a Cold Brew with Tonic.
If you happen to live in Berlin and want to try one without much hassle, they have a booth at the next Weddingmarkt on 3 July. Highly recommended.
