Aimee is a Texan who loves to
cook for her husband and three dogs!
Cooking is Aimee’s passion turned stress reliever.
Aimee has a lot of wonderful
recipes on her blog, but I was instantly drawn to her Rosemary Iced Coffee!
I’m learning to love coffee,
though I’m more of a Starbucks or “cheat and use instant coffee” than a “brew
my own” type of gal. So I was totally
intrigued by the idea of cold brewing coffee.
The cold brew worked
amazingly well, but here’s the thing.
Below I have written half of the batch of coffee. Do you see quarts down there? Yeah, that’s a gallon (the original calls for
a pound of coffee & 2 gallons of water!!)
That is a lot of coffee!
So here are a few things to
think about before cold brewing coffee. First,
be sure you have a large enough pot to brew it in (I don’t, thus the reason I
made a half batch). Second, be sure you
have a plan and containers in which to store the coffee once it’s been brewed!
I stored about a quart in a
pitcher in the refrigerator and froze the rest in quart sized bags, because I
love iced coffee, but how much can a person possibly drink in one day?
As far as the Rosemary Iced
Coffee goes, I am totally in love! I’m a
rosemary fanatic, so I love the surprising earthy twist the rosemary brings to
the table. I’ve also experimented with
half rosemary syrup and half vanilla syrup, which is also an amazing
combination.
Rosemary syrup would also be
amazing in tea. Oh and maybe a margarita…ooohhh…I’m
going to try that out this weekend!
Thank you Aimee, for a
wonderful recipe!
