Brandi's Brew: DIY Iced Coffee.

Friday, April 07, 2017

When I drink coffee, which for me isn’t a daily thing, I’m one of those cold-drink-year-round kinda people. So is the hubs. So when a former co-worker introduced me to the Hario Cold Brew System, I was intrigued. Now I’m hooked.

If you are into iced coffee, I’d recommend the $16 investment (+ some ground up coffee).
