one man's words

Living, working and playing in North Carolina, trying to make heads or tails of this whole being an adult thing.

Movies I've Seen:
2011 • 2012

onemanswords: haygirlhay: A fridge in the summer months just isn’t right without a big jug of the most perfect iced coffee. It’s high time to make another batch. You have just changed my life. I am making this tomorrow night. No question about it! So I tried this today. It’s pretty good. The result actually tastes like coffee, as opposed to whatever Starbucks and Breugger’s are throwing out there. It’s as if I’m  drinking a nice, cold cup of the coffee I make every morning, which is probably what iced coffee should be. I don’t exactly prefer it to Starbucks, but I know it’s probably more pure, and at least I made it myself. I took this woman’s recipe and halved it since I only have 1 gal containers. I used (roughly) 8 oz of Cafe Bustelo dark roast grounds (like her), but I might experiment with a lighter roast next time to see if the taste becomes more appealing. One final note: Some grounds still came through in the final product, depsite using a strainer and cheesecloth. Perhaps this is unavoidable?
