Coffee Recipes

I have the second thought of posting coffee recipes here since its not that much of really a Filipino origin. However, since most of the Filipinos love coffee ( including me ) I opt to have this recipe from you from one of my subscriptions, margaycoffee.com.Thanks Pat!




Basic Iced Coffee
To brew a pot of delicious iced coffee, use 3 ounces of quality coffee per 64 ounces of water. (The coffee-to-water ratio can be adjusted for taste, different types of brewing equipment, and pot size.) Final yield will be approximately 60 ounces of brewed coffee. Allow coffee to cool after brewing. Keep it refrigerated if not to be used within two hours. Keep it covered to retain freshness.
