Cold brew virgin no more.

We happened to be in the area of a specialty coffee place that has opened up pretty local to me yesterday afternoon after picking Matt up from school so we decided to toddle off and grab a coffee.
I had my usual skim latte and Matt decided he wanted something different so opted for a cold brew. I figured I had better have a taste, for research purposes of course, it was totally not what I was expecting at all. I thought it would be super strong and virtually undrinkable but no, it was tasty, refreshing and I could easily have gulped it down. Yummo.

I might head back and get a whole one to myself over the weekend :thumb:.

Fantastic stuff, now your next job is to start brewing your own. Our very own pat has some wonderful tips for cold brewers and he's even experienced significant commercial success; so, ask lots of questions.... he might drop in.

Lol, Matt asked about brewing his own, I'm not sure that is good for a 16 year old although I don't mind him having the occasional one 😛. I'll go in search of some cold brew threads, thanks 🙂.

It's probably better for most 16 year olds I see going to school with a redbull or a 2lt bottle of coke! lol I had some at cosmic_couples and it was nice, I liked it.

You're right Lacehim, it would have to be. I am sure he has probably had the occasional sneaky RedBull or similar though. I really don't mind him having a coffee 🙂.
