I will be the first to admit that I am not a big coffee drinker. Of course, I love the smell, and the extra energy. But the stomach ache, not so much. Well, cold brewed coffee, seems to be what I needed. It comes with the great taste, but not the acids that upset my tummy! Now, be sure to make it ahead of time, so you can sit down and have a five minute break to relax and energize before the kids are up!
Cold Brewed Iced Coffee Recipe from
NY Times1/3 cup medium coarse ground coffee
1 1/2 cup water
- Combine in jar and let sit out overnight (they say at room temperature).
- Strain twice into second jar (either through coffee filter or a mesh sieve)
- This is a concentrate, for black coffee combine with equal parts of water
I happen to double the recipe and place it in the fridge overnight instead of on the counter. This way it is cold and ready for iced coffee, yum! Once you have strained the coffee, the sky is the limit as to what you can do with it. If you like your coffee hot, add an equal part of hot water to the concentrate. Or, maybe you are like me and want a little chocolate to start your day. Then add an equal part of milk to the concentrate, a good squeeze of chocolate syrup and a little extra sugar. You could even try it Thai style with sweetened condensed milk. However you like your coffee or tea, take a little time to enjoy it as you drink it:)
