I actually don’t like to be that guy but if you’re brewing with hot water over ice, that’s iced coffee.
If you’re doing a 2 minute aeropress with cold water… you’re probably getting super- under-extracted cold brew.
Either way, if you like the result it doesn’t really matter. But cold brew has a certain quality that some people really don’t like (see: James Hoffman).
Nice yeah I mean if it’s tasty foe you it doesn’t matter. It was pribably under extracted in some way or another (just guessing based on thr fact that contact time with water + heat = extraction)

I did a fine grind, 5:1 with room temp water inverted in the aero. Stirred for a full minute, then pressed for an additional minute.
I combined that concentrate with equal parts water, poured over ice, and voila.
I’m sure you can do better overnight with traditional methods, but in 2 minutes? It was surprisingly decent.
