Iced Coffee & Cold Process Soap

New soap is in the Etsy store!!
Just listed is Farm Fresh, a light spring scent with a mixture of meadow grass and lilacs.

Vanilla Latte, that one kind of speaks for itself, but it has some fresh ground espresso blended in to give it a little kick.
Perfect for getting the garden off your hands when you come in from planting and also works wonders for removing kitchen odors (garlic, onion, etc...) from your hands while cooking.

Then there's Farmers Market, with a fresh outdoor summertime garden scent. 

Imagine your favorite leafy greens with just a hint of mint.

Also in the Etsy store are more dishcloths and coasters. 

Super bright fun colors and you can pick and choose your favorites!

Ok, do you know what time it is?

It's iced coffee time, that's what time it is!

There are a ton of cold coffee recipes out there, most of them PW's and for sure, hers is time tested and coffee drinker approved, but my problem is it makes too much to conveniently store in my fridge. All I have room for in my overflowing ice box is two/four quarts, because after I squeeze in my sweet tea, some half and half to add to my iced coffee, a box of wine and don't forget the milk for Wyatt's cereal or the juice for the kid who calls me Tranny, 

(that's another story)

there's not a square to spare on the shelf, sooooo... I condensed the recipe and kicked it up a notch.

I take a one pound can of regular old bottom shelf store brand ground coffee, dump it in a big mixing bowl and pour four quarts of water over the top.

Let that sit all day and all night and the next morning pour it through one of these things 

lined with cheese cloth into whatever type of pitcher, jar or bucket you keep your cold coffee in.

There. 

Now you have a reasonable amount of cold coffee in your fridge.

It's still basically PW's recipe, just half the water and cheap coffee.

Now go ahead and add your half and half, soy, almond, whiskey whatever you want to make your perfect ice cold beverage!
