cold brew iced coffee Cold brewed iced coffee is easy to make if you can wait a day for it to be ready. It’s more delicious and less harsh than hot coffee that’s been iced down, and it’s lot less trouble. We sell—and drink—gallons of it every day the temperature rises above 50º outside.

1/4 pound coarse-ground coffee

2 quarts water

Combine coffee and water and let sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Strain the brew through muslin or layers of cheesecloth. Serve over ice.

fine, a smoothie I’m embarrassed to admit it, but I do love a good smoothie. After a hot run on a summer morning, it’s a pretty nice way to eat. This one requires bananas, which is one fruit we don’t

let through the front door of the restaurant. I keep them at home, though, and as they get very ripe I peel and slice them and throw them in a ziploc bag in the freezer. Frozen bananas are the key to a successful smoothie.

1 ripe banana, sliced and frozen

1/2 cup orange juice

1/2 cup frozen blueberries*

1 tablespoon almond butter

1/2 cup whole milk plain yogurt

1 teaspoon maple syrup

Place all ingredients in a strong blender. (Disclaimer: I’ve burned out several blenders by not slicing my bananas thinly enough). Run until smooth, and serve in a glass to drink or in a bowl with some granola on top.
