Iced Coffee Invitation

There is a simple trick to iced coffee perfection: brew double strength.  To wit: if there is a 12 cup coffee maker, put 6 cups of water with and the normal amount of grinds.  One could just brew twice into same pot in order to have 12 cups of 2x strength coffee.

Simple, right?

Das likes iced coffee, double strength or no, in the afternoons.   If my mint plant had made it, i would have minty water or minty lemonade on hand, i’m sure, but the mint didn’t live, alas, and so for refreshing delicious, there’s a good chance you’ll be offered an iced coffee should you decide to drop by.  Please, do, by all means, drop by.

I remember iced coffee being very popular at starbucks when i worked there, especially in afternoons, especially in the summers.   I hadn’t thought i would like it all that much, but i gave it a try, of course with a little cream and sugar (sweet and creamy in our parlance), and discovered quite a treat.

(Psst: At Starbucks they make their Iced Coffee with Italian Roast, unless they’ve changed it– Italian is nearly as dark as French.)

I have thought about making Sun Tea but don’t have an appropriate vessel on hand so to steep, so haven’t quite jumped on that Southern refresher just yet.  I feel sure that before too long I’ll find something.
