Eating on Jitneys

Even though I drink a lot of coffee, I was not aware of the Cold-Brewed dreams-come-true in store for me until Ellen mentioned an article she read in the New York Times. I did a quick search online and realized that Cold-Brewed coffee is one of the easiest beverages to make ever. One article explained that the bitter taste in coffee is a result of heating it. That taste doesn’t exist if you don’t heat it. So here’s what you do to make the most delicious cold coffee of your sweet little life. It helps to start with good coffee:

-grind some coffee. however much you want to use. i have a tablespoon scoop and i think i used about 8 scoops for 1 mason jar of brew.
-put it in a mason jar. add water to the top.
-leave it out at room temperature for 24 hours.
-if you have a french press this will be so easy. just pour the coffee and water into the press and press it down.
-otherwise you’ll have to strain out the grounds. you could use coffee filters or cheese cloth.

That’s all. It’s SO GOOD! And only takes about 24 hours and 5 seconds.
