Cold Brewed Coffee
From my favorite food blog – the smitten kitchen, once again. One thing I love in the summer is iced coffee. I know it’s not quite summer yet, and warm coffee is still wonderful in the mornings. However, once summer is here, I’ll have so many vegetable recipes to post that I’ll probably forget to mention iced coffee. Click here to go to the source.
Ingredients
1/3 cup ground coffee (medium-coarse grind is best)
Milk (optional)
1. In a jar, stir together coffee and 1 1/2 cups water. Cover and let rest at room temperature overnight or 12 hours.
2. Strain twice through a coffee filter, a fine-mesh sieve or a sieve lined with cheesecloth. In a tall glass filled with ice, mix equal parts coffee concentrate and water, or to taste. If desired, add milk.
Market News
Spring has arrived with a vengeance. Yesterday my yard was a mud pit and today the grass is already knee high. My goats, and I’m sure, all of the pastured ruminants in these parts are happy for the renewed forage. I am also very grateful for the spring treats – asparagus is poking up, salad beds are growing almost as fast as the grass, and the red buds look unreal! One way to pretty up a spring salad is to add red bud flowers. They taste a little bit like peas.

Once again, I haven’t had much time for checking out new specials this afternoon (Saturdays are getting a bit too busy on the farm) so I encourage you to look the whole list over.
Happy Spring!
