Iced Coffee Time!
By
Rise and shine, everybody! Winter is no more and the time to hibernate is over! The sun is back and there are flowers to smell, gardens to grow, and picnics to be enjoyed! Spring is most certainly in the air and to me, that means one thing... ICED COFFEE!
All winter long I wait and long for the first batch of cold brewed iced coffee for the season. There is something about its heavy bodied, chocolaty sweetness that sends me to the moon and leaves me with a craving that no other coffee drink can satisfy! So velvety, yet still so crisp! Mmm! Heaven in a cup!
What makes cold brewed iced coffee so good? Unlike iced coffees which are brewed hot then cooled and often end up being sour, the cold brew method is well, cold brewed! Brewing coffee using cold water to extract all those yummy oils and gases from the ground coffee requires a much longer extraction time that with hot water; say, 12 hours longer! But good things come to those who wait! With this a slow and gentle extraction, you're left with the smoothest and richest cup of iced coffee you're going to find!
Stop by a Gimme store and give it a try, and if that isn't an option, try making up a batch at home!
Enjoy!
