Er... yep, I guess so.

Jul. 11th, 2007 10:41 amginkgo found a recipe for cold brewed coffee, and I made some.This isn't coffee, this is coffee concentrate. Same amount of grounds and water as when I make a hot french press full, but holy crap. I looked at the lack of opacity in the resulting liquid, and thought "Lame. This looks really weak." Ha! I enjoy chewing/sucking on coffee beans directly, but I might have to dilute this a tad. Yikes.
Goes well with a squirt of simple syrup however. :)
Edit: When you pour the water over the grounds, cover them airtight. Air during the brew process leads to bitterness. I use the french press still, and just put Saran Wrap over the carafe. Pop it in the fridge at night, press it in the morning, enjoy chilled smooth brew.

OMG! You *pansies*! :D
Jul. 11th, 2007 05:55 pmI just checked the weather in Seattle, after seeing a lot of posts about it.
91deg. Ouch. That's pretty damned hot for up there.
Then I see the humidity.
**27%**?? You're complaining about **27%**?? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Oh dear god, you poor dears, you have no idea. At that nice dry humidity, sweating still works. Evaporation is efficient. You can cool yourself with a wet towel and a fan quite nicely. Seriously... years of living on the dry hot side of the Cascades, and in Salt Lake City make this a no-brainer: mist yourself with some water in front of a fan, and it will feel 10-15deg cooler almost instantly. Soak a towel in water and toss it on your back while you walk around - same effect. When the humidity is that low, water + moving air = cool. Temperature is easily overcome if the air is dry. When it's humid... not so much.
When the temp is in the 90s, and so is the humidity, *then* you're in deep doodoo. (Actually, that's pretty much what it feels like.... walking through warm poo.) cf: NC, NY.
Go sweat yourself silly, and enjoy the evaporation for those of us who cannot. :P :)
