This is just the beginning of my cooking blog. There are a ton of things I’d like to do here, but I have to have at least one recipe to get started. So here is my recipe for cold-brewed iced coffee, using a wonderful fair trade iced coffee blend from my favorite purveyors: Just Coffee in Madison, WI. They are the fine folks who put together the Raphael’s Roast coffee that we used at my last parish, St. Raphael. I learned from them the process of cold-brewing the coffee, which makes it far less acidic, a good idea for coffee served cold. I experimented with additives, and this could more properly be called Fr. Pat’s Iced Vanilla Latte, I think, but that’s not what we called it. Anyway, enjoy a cup of it, and sit back while I do some more tinkering around here!
