A lot has changed over the past couple of weeks to where a new household routine has developed. I recently started a new job with a new commute with a new vibe. The seasons are changing from cold to hot in just days, just like my life style. I was a night owl, who woke up 15 minutes before needing to be out the door, rushing to get dressed, grab a banana and get to work in such a sour mood. I got jealous of coworkers and friends telling me how productive they were in the mornings, with their routines including, going to the gym, making breakfast, showering, getting ready and making a cup of coffee and catching up on current events.
So, I took matters in my own hands. I am slowly acclimating myself to being better for my standards. I am they type of person that needs to ease into a habit. So naturally, I start my week off with a French pressed Cup of Joe. However, with it being nearly 80 degrees outside, I prefer a cold blend coffee. Cold brewing coffee is very easy, although you should factor in time. When I say start you week off right, I literally mean start on Sunday because the brewing process takes about 12 hours. I know you are probably thinking that you why not just use your Keurig/ standard coffee maker and press a button. Trust me, this is a great change in taste. Also another perk is that, one brew lasts me the entire week. Keep in mind I drink about 2/3 cups a day.
