So today...
I woke up and made some organic coffee in the french press and enjoyed while I packed for the new house. Yep! My DH and I are buying a house. Leasing it this year and buying it next. It feels like we're buying right away because we're so very excited. The house belongs to a friend but I'm digressing.
Had some iced coffee later this afternoon with a friend after drumming circle. I love going to the cafe. It's a local Starbucks but really the 'coffeehouse' atmosphere can be acheived at any good cafe. I love lounging back in the comfy chairs sipping my handmade java goodness. Elora and I shared some fruit to go with it. Mango, Strawberries, and Kiwi. We loved it. It was a perfect combo to go with my cool and refreshing glass of coffee.
Iced coffee? yeah, I'm not an Iced tea person. Here's how to brew iced coffee in your auto maker:
Put the amount of coffee grounds you would normally use for a full pot of hot coffee but only put half the amount of water in the machine. Add a sweetener, sugar, or a flavored syrup to your pitcher (or nothing at all...). Pour the double strength hot coffee into a pitcher and will the pitcher with an equal amount of cold water. Chill and serve over ice. It's wonderfully refreshing way to enjoy a cuppa in this summer heat!
