Yield Specifications
Coffee/Sugar Mixture
2 gallons = 40 servings
Iced Coffee Mix
1 batch = 10 servings
Preparing Flavoring Syrup Pumps
Twist the pump until the top is all the way up
Place the tube inside the syrup
Before twisting the pump onto the syrup bottle, slowly push down on the pump approximately three times
This will pull some of the syrup into the pump so it does not spill over when twisted onto the syrup bottle
Preparing and Holding Coffee/Sugar Mixture
Measure 32 ounces (4 cups) of sugar and pour into a 2-gallon plastic container
When the hold time for brewed regular coffee has expired, pour any remaining coffee into the plastic container with the sugar
DO NOT USE DECAF COFFEE IN THE COFFEE/SUGAR MIXTURE
Using a wire whisk, stir the coffee/sugar mixture. Stir each time more coffee is added to ensure the sugar is dissolved
Once the container contains 2 gallons of coffee, cover with a plastic lid and write the discard date on the lid
The coffee/sugar mixture can be held for up to 4 days
Place the covered container in the cooler until it reaches a temperature of 34°F - 41°F
Preparing and Holding Iced Coffee Mix
Once the coffee/sugar mixture has cooled to the appropriate temperature, the iced coffee mix can be prepared
Measure 64 ounces (1/2 gallon) of the cooled coffee/sugar mixture and pour into a 1-gallon pitcher
Measure 24 ounces of milk from the milk dispenser. Pour into the pitcher with the coffee/sugar mixture
Measure 12 ounces of light cream and add to the 1-gallon pitcher
DO NOT ADD HOT COFFEE TO THE ICED COFFEE MIX, AS THIS WILL CAUSE THE MILK CREAM TO CURDLE
Use a wire whisk to thoroughly stir the iced coffee mix. Stir for at least 45 seconds
Write the 2 day discard date on the top of the pitcher
Cover and place in the walk-in cooler or in the reach-in cooler on the frontline
Any iced coffee mix remaining at close on the discard date must be discarded
