The first three hours of my first day, in my new town, was spent at the DMV to get my driver's license. Rough way to start. However, I had plenty of time to look at The Pioneer Woman's blog and find some good recipes. I have not cooked in weeks because I have not had my own kitchen or pantry to work from. So, I have been feeling inspired to cook again after the long break from it. I was really excited when I found this iced coffee recipe. I love Starbucks iced coffee but I have never had the guts to try and make my own because I figured it would never taste as good. However, I can tell you that this PW's iced coffee is pretty darn close!
I followed PW's recipe very closely. I even used the same brand of coffee. However, I did cut the recipe in half (which I would recommend, unless you want A LOT of iced coffee). Obviously, my pictures aren't as gourmet as PW's...haha
So, basically you mix .5 lb (half the bag) of coffee grounds with 4 quarts of cold water. Let it sit for 8 hours.
Then, you use a mesh strainer and cheesecloth to filter out the coffee grounds. This is very messy.
However, the final product turns out great!
This should last me a while :)
maybe i should try this since my version of iced coffee is putting an ice cube in the leftovers from the morning pot...ewwww. you have to explain this cheese cloth business to me...you are so domestic.
