That first sip of deep roasted morning magic that simultaneously soothes and stimulates is a not only a ritual but a necessity for some of us, for it gets us standing upright, and thinking clearly. So why doesn't the leftover, poured over ice hours later still have that rich round flavor? I know there's a scientific explanation, and I'm not interested, thank you. Just give me a way to capture the fresh brewed flavor in iced form!
Life changing...that's what happened several years ago when I first tried an Iced Americano at that famous coffee place that has taken over the world. I thought iced coffee was inherently a bit tangy with a stale edge, a residual from refrigerating the morning's brew, it's deep flavor a casualty of storage and time.

Breakfast can be one of the most sugar loaded meals of the day. A quick bowl of ultra sweet cereal, toast with jelly, or a pop tart, with juice of course, and our world of convenience is jump started with a dopamine high and a front seat on the daily sugar train. If you've got the time, you may opt for a nice hot meal of eggs and a fluffy white biscuit with jam, french toast with lots of syrup, or a cup of fruity sweet yogurt with granola because you're trying to eat right. It's tough to get off the sugar train, isn't it?! And even when we choose foods sweetened artificially, the taste preferences are not being trained to accept pure and simple food for what it is, making it impossible to learn how to eat clean and love it. |
