I love Sundays

From the 'I've been telling you this for years" file

From the New York Times: "Without the bitterness produced by hot water, cold-brewed coffee [has] hints of chocolate, even caramel. I dropped my sugar packet — no need for it. The best brews hardly need cream." About twice a week I grind up some beans to make a few days' supply in my Bodum french press. The first day I add a dash of hot water from the kettle and top the plunger up with ice cubes. The flavours develop as it sits in the fridge (a rich coffee taste with no bitterness) and the knowledge that there's always a chilled coffee ready helps get me out of bed. I drink it even in winter. The only drawback is it spoils you: espresso bar coffees at work just don't satisfy and you quickly lose your appreciation for heated milk.

Try it -- you'll thank me!
