Perfect Iced Coffee. Iced coffee is my life. When I wake up, often around the time party animals on the west coast are just heading home, I start each day not with a cup of freshly brewed hot java, but with a tall, blessed glass of creamy iced coffee in a glass. I’ve been an iced coffee freakazoid for years and years. To say I couldn’t live without it is an understatement. It gives me the tools I need to cope. Iced coffee is a complicated thing, and there are many different approaches.
One would think that one could merely pour brewed coffee into a glass full of ice and call it a day…but I find that method extremely flawed. 1. Given the previous set of facts, one would assume that the logical solution would be to brew hot coffee, then transfer the brew to the fridge, allow it to cool, and use it to make iced coffee from there.

It's the Life: Passion Fruit & Lemon Tea.
Have you had the passion tea lemonade at Starbucks? It's fantastic. Really fantastic. I searched on-line for passion tea and found that this Tazo tea is used and sold by Starbucks! I bought a couple boxes at my local grocery store for $3.49/box. I thought I'd give it a try on my own. Each box of tea comes with 20 tea bags. Once your water boils, pour it over your tea bags. Once it is finished steeping, use one spoon to scoop out one bag at a time. Since the water is still hot, I use a second spoon to squeeze out more flavor from each bag before I toss them.
It's such a nice color, and it smells delicious! While you wait, make yourself a nice sandwich. In order to get the right measurements, I used a starbucks cup. When you buy this drink at the store, they pump their "classic syrup" into the drink. This next part isn't necessary, but they do it at the store and it makes you feel fancy. Pour your tea mixture over your ice.
Put the lid on and shake it like crazy! Foamy deliciousness! Heatherross - blog - Now In Season... We just returned from a dreamy week spent on a lovely little lake in Monroe, NY. Most of the time it was just TC, Lobo, Benito and I (yes, we took the cat) but last Sunday we had some friends up for a day of swimming and grilling. The houses owner had told us that our best bet for fresh produce was a place called Blooming Hill, where a farming family has transformed its barn into a green market, cafe and weekend restaurant, with tables and umbrellas set up on a mostly flat stretch of mowed grass along the edges of the small stream.
The farms jolly owner and his extremely friendly staff and family stock tables with their produce as well as mason jars full of icy lemonade with fresh mint and even a local selection of local cheeses in the barn. I love carrots, and was thrilled to discover a new (to me, at least) way to cook them. It was hard not to eat them raw in the car on the way home. My mothers vegetable gardens in Vermont could always be counted upon for mid-play grazing. Orange Julius. 195062227580480184_qMd0dgf0.jpg 1,676×1,505 pixels. My life in food: Watermelon Lime Frosty (or Margarita) and Guess What?
