Gentle Brew Coffee Co. in Long Beach makes a mean iced coffee. The beverage starts with dark-roasted Brazilian beans that are cold brewed for more smoothness, less acidity. Then the brew is blended with a little milk and sugar, bottled and dated -- so you know you're getting a fresh one. The 11-ounce bottles sell for $2.50 at Gentle Brew (151 E. Park Ave., Long Beach, 516-605-2370), at Sip This (64 Rockaway Ave., Valley Stream, 516-341-0491) and at farmers markets in Long Beach, Northport, Huntington and Babylon.
