Leftover Coffee...
I never dump the rest of the pot. The next day I have a refreshing pick-me-up.
To me, a good cup of coffee is just as important as a fine meal. That means I grind the beans right before brewing, and following my philosophy of “waste not,” I am not one to dump the remainder of a pot down the drain.
I use a glass container to store the leftover brew in the refrigerator, as well as freeze some into cubes. The next day I can have a quick iced coffee, or I’ll run it through the blender with a bit of milk and half-and-half. If I’m up for sweetness, I’ll add a teaspoon or two of sugar (I use Splenda, actually) and a dash of vanilla.
And to think, Starbucks charges $3.00 for a similar concoction…
