I'll make some and let it go cold. It's really nice. Oh, that does sound nice. I don’t have a David’s near me now, so it’s good they have a website. I’m going to look for that one. Edit: The website lists an iced variety. Mmmm Edited June 6, 2020 by Reader1810 2

That's my standard Starbucks order when someone asks if I want one, and they are buying. LOL. But I found this recipe for Whipped Coffee. Warning, its sugar heavy, but you might find some alternative that works. Only made it once, I thought it was really sweet and powerful, and I was awake for a week. LOL. Also have you noticed most food blogs be like: Reveal hidden contents the food blog thing is funny ... i know there is a recipe on here somewhere!!! 1 2 1
Brayon Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 Speaking of tea... I was bought a box of this: Haven't trued it yet, but planning on making a mug tonight. 4

rickproehl Posted June 6, 2020 Posted June 6, 2020 Excuse me Good Sirs and DiC just wanted to stop in and tell everyone Good Evening of all the things to drink Coffee / Tea are ones i can do with out. Hot/Cold i have tried them all they taste terrible. i remember growing up my Grandma would Doctor her grounds. She had one of those coffee makers with a pot at the top on a stick and you had a Urn of water. To this day i still remember her recipe- Maxwell House Coffee , 1 tsp of salt and 1 pat of real butter (we are talking 1960 they didn’t know any better) everyone said she “made the best coffee in town” thanks for the coffee talk it brought back some good memories. So how are things with you 5

Actually, i have had no leaf water. 2 bean waters, but no leaf yet. 1 hour ago, Wayne Gray said: *offended at bean water used to describe a glorious elixir like coffee* *realizes I am to blame for that sacrilege* *narrows eyes and purses lips in impotent comeuppance* Now gents, let's get the terminology correct. Its leaf elixir and magic bean juice 1 7

He said, I've had my tea the same way since I was a child. It's made with boiling water.That's how I'll continue to make it." Definitely with BOILING water. Unless the water is boiling the leaves cannot release their full bounty into it. Michael is making tea the right way. Ignore all advice to the contrary! =;0) 4 2

Site Moderator Reader1810 Posted June 6, 2020 Site Moderator Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) Good morning DiCers! I hope you all have a wonderful day... Almost made my regular hot morning drink, then I remembered there’s a quick and easy alternative thanks to @Mikiesboy So yay, I’m having iced coffee instead! Edit: Of note, the cold version is sweeter than the hot version, so cut the required sweetener - yes, it is still needed for now, anyway - by half. Edited June 6, 2020 by Reader1810 3 1

There are some nice decaf coffees out there. i've tried decaf tea but would rather die than drink them, just awful. The peach tea from David's is very nice but it has no 'tea' in it, so no caffeine. i'm not usually one for herbal things much but that stuff is very good. 4
Mikiesboy Posted June 6, 2020 Author Posted June 6, 2020 Breezy and 20c/68f here atm. Humidity is low... so yeah. I have a bowl of flour, water and yeast rising on the counter for no-knead focaccia from my fav food blogger. I made the 50% whole wheat version ... we will have that with dinner tonight and some will go in the freezer. 4
