It's a simple tale: there was a time when we didn't own a coffee maker and I had been CRAVING coffee for some time. Starbucks? Psht, ridiculously overpriced and even though McDonalds has the McCafe going on, I'm still not convinced it's worth paying $2+ for an iced coffee. Our already pinched pennies had to be pinched for the better good despite my wants! Boo hoo for me!
I heard about something called 'cold brew' in which you soak coffee grounds overnight and strain it using the 'concentrate' to make your coffee. I found this fascinating! I can get my coffee fix AND not have to deal with another appliance on my already crowded kitchen counter. Yippee!!!
