Ready For Consumption

IMG_1396

Classic overnight oats on the menu this morning! Enhanced with strawberries, granola and sunflower butter blob.

IMG_1406-2

Plus my new coffee!! I liked it, but I’m still figuring out the ratio of water to grounds. This was a wee bit weak with 1/4 cup grounds and 20 oz water. The water level was great, so I think I need 1/3 cup grounds – which is bad because I’ll go through them faster!

Coffee

Matt’s Terrapin beer jar! I love to imagine beer paraphernalia complaining in a wee little voice when anything other than alcohol graces their insides : )

Friday already!

    I love cold brewed iced coffee – takes away so much of the bitterness! 🙂

    Try using a ration of 2 tbps of grounds for every 6-8 oz of water. It sounds like a lot of coffee for such a small amount but that ration should give you a strong, flavorful brew instead of a weaker less tasty brew.

        yes! i was noticing we have the same bodum and do about 1 to 1.25 cups of grounds and then fill with water up to the bottom of the plastic ring around the top. it’s quite strong, but as the ice melts it’s not watered down. and i use a lot of ice. 🙂

      Word! Also, is anyone else as obsessed as I am with adding a teeny little sprinkle of cinnamon to coffee, hot OR cold? I bet that would enhance the flava-flav for ya too, Kath, and hide some of decaf taste…

    Haha. I love that comment about the beer paraphernalia. Now with my food allergies, I feel like that whenever I have banana “ice cream” in an old Greek yogurt container, or when I store.my almond butter in an old glass peanut butter jar. I may be allergic to milk and peanuts, but their containers are still great! Hope you have an awesome Friday. I heard we were supposed to be getting record temps today!

    Kath: I just noticed something on your Tribute to Oatmeal page. You give your classic oatmeal recipe (which I believe is for ONE person, seeing as it lists only 1/3 cup of oats), but then in the directions on how to make the oats, you start with: “For two servings…”.

    Are the directions for two servings but the recipe (i.e. ratios) for one person?

    Sorry for the odd-ball question. I was doing some oats research this morning and now I’m a wee bit confused…

    Happy FRIDAY!

    • KathEats says

      July 6, 2012 at 8:46 am

      Great observation – I changed it all to one serving. The ingredients were already for one. I used to always make two at a time, so that’s why the directions were wrong. Thanks for the catch!

    Weak coffee is the worst! I usually do one heaping tbsp per 6 oz. Then throw a little extra in at the end!

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      July 6, 2012 at 8:44 am

      For 20 ounces (6 x 3 and change) I did 4 tbsp – which should have been enough! I’m thinking 1/3 a cup would be stronger..

      Reply
      • Jenny says

        July 6, 2012 at 9:11 am

        The definite convention is 2 T. per 6 oz. If you find that tasting too strong, adjust your coffee roast not the amount of coffee.

    French press coffee is really good, but may not be as healthy as filtered coffee:

    Hi! I have what looks like the same Bodum french press (but in black). Is there a difference on this once since you say it’s a cold brew? Or do you just cold brew in your “regular” french press? OIAJ look delish!!

    For making cold brewed iced coffee, it’s best to leave it at room temperature overnight or in the fridge for 24 hours. It’ll come out stronger that way!

    Hey there – 15 year veteran barista here 🙂 Cold press coffee is going to take more grounds than regular hot coffee – not a ton more, but more, so the hot coffee guidelines aren’t going to work for good iced coffee. The general rule of thumb is 1lb of ground coffee for 1 gallon of water, and you can scale from there. After 12-15 hours, that should give you a concentrate that can be diluted 1:3 with water for a solid cup of iced coffee. Other things to keep in mind: make sure you have very freshly ground coffee and make sure you are letting it steep for 12-15 hours – NO LESS. The pioneer woman has a great recipe for the concentrate (called ‘toddy’ in the coffee world) on her website.

    Maybe you could also try freezing coffee ice cubes, so when they melt, they don’t dilute your coffee. I am loving iced coffee these days.

    Getting the ratio of grounds to water right is something that I have spent a week trying to figure out…have bought a few new coffees and I’ve spent the week tweaking things, too.
