Why not harness the sun to make your next brew?
Grind 1 tablespoon
of organic coffee beans in a coffee grinder. Wash a glass quart jar and rinse well. Fill the jar with 3 cups of pure water. Put the ground coffee in the middle of
a coffee filter. You can place a couple of fresh mint leaves on top of the
ground coffee if you like mint. Gather together the ends of the
coffee filter and tie a string around the top or wrap a rubber band
around the top to secure. You now have a little bag of coffee. Drop
this bag into the water. Put a lid on it and put it in the direct sun. You can put
it on the sidewalk, on a sunny window sill, on the top of your car or
any place that will get full sun. It should be ready in about 3
hours. Take it out of the sun, remove the little coffee bag and
discard it. Add a couple tablespoons of piloncillo (cane sugar). Piloncillo is pure, unrefined sugar that tastes delicious in beverages especially coffee. You
can grate a piloncillo cone with an old-fashioned grater. Or you can
sweeten it with chocolate syrup.
