A while ago, the New York Times had an article about cold brewed coffee that peaked my interest. I’m not much of a coffee drinker, but iced coffee is, on occasion, a pretty exceptional summer time drink, so I filed the article in the back of my mind for future reference.

Some time later, Francisco, aware of my irrational love for Dunkin’ Donuts (or, more accurately, my rational hatred for Krispy Kreme), brought back a few bags of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee for me from his trip to New York. Not having a coffee maker, or any desire to drink it really, it sat in the cabinet for a few months, until yesterday.

The weather is already pretty nice again here in Cupertino, and combined with the discovery of this article, I had no excuse not to give cold brewed coffee a chance. Substitute taco bell cups (gross) for a couple red cups, recalculate the ingredients proportionally, and I was ready to go. 24 hours later, I’m enjoying a great cup of iced coffee that was practically free (compared with $2.80 at that other coffee place)!
