A magical take on cold brew coffee.
When the hot and sunny days of summer arrive, it’s outdoor party time. It’s time to bring out the lounge chairs, picnic baskets and beach umbrellas and head to the beach or the neighborhood parks. Or if you’re like me, I love to relax in my backyard with my family and have a backyard cookout while enjoying different types of cold brew, cold brew coffee that is.
Have you thought about what type of cold beverage to serve this summer?
Ever thought about serving cold coffee at a party?
My favorite cold brew must be smooth, bright and bold, straight from the cup. Recently I did a few experiments with cold brew in my home ‘test kitchen’ and discovered a sparkly shimmering cold brew coffee, a cold brew that will definitely give your party the WOW factor. I call it the Sparkly Unicorn Cold Brew Coffee.
You could simply pour hot coffee over ice, but let me tell you, there are better options these days for iced cold coffee whether store bought or home made. Don’t settle for a cup of cold, diluted, watered-down coffee.
