How to Make Cold Brew in a French Press

[fireheartwraith]

My mom drinks reheated coffee

My sister doesn't like coffee, and eating in the morning makes her sick, so she's never around for breakfast

I have drunk a cup of coffee everyday since I was twelve, influenced by my parents

My dad drank his black

My mom, with a dash of milk

And I always took mine with two spoonfuls of sugar

But we all ate bread with butter, with a little bit of creamcheese

We woke up at different times, to go to different places, but whoever woke up first would make enough coffee for three and set the table for everyone

Mom drank her coffee in a old clay mug she bought somewhere long before, while me and dad drank coffee in traditional glasses

The table was set with the bread, the butter, the cheese, the plates, spoons, mug and glasses

But I moved away to college a year ago

And dad has been dead for four

But still, mom makes enough coffee for three

And sets a table that only she sits on

So the coffee grows cold and the bread goes stale

But still, she reheats them, and wills them to last just a little bit longer

i think growing up is just life repeatedly sucker punching you and saying bitch you thought things were gonna better lmao no you're so naive and stupid for having hope in 20 years the world will be flaming bag of garbage and no matter how hard you work you'll get eliminated at some point

Top 5 drinks? ☕

i am about to confess. i am a terminal water-drinker SKFJHG i'm not super into sweet things and don't mind the taste of just plain water? so i don't often have any beverages at all, so this list is about to be the most hyper-specific list of beverages known to man 😂

hot water: i would argue this counts as a drink, because most people i know don't drink hot water, i'm just very chinese lol. it's nice! feels less shocking to the system than cold water. i do not like cold water.

taro bubble tea: truly the most bestest of bubble teas. it's purple! it has edible tadpoles! yum. idk unpopular opinion though, every time i get it from a place where they actually serve legitimate taro inside their taro bubble tea, i hate it. i want the artificial stuff that comes in powder form, that is probably like 90% sugar by weight

there's this corn juice that T&T sells that's really good. is also probably 90% sugar by weight. corn!

okay i have to admit that i do like the starbucks coffee cappuccino frappuccino whatever stuff that comes in the sealed glass bottles that you can get. again, definitely mostly sugar and milk by weight (i am not a hardcore coffee person. i'm not even a coffee person really), but they taste really good. i haven't had one in years and i'm not about to break that streak now! but i do remember really liking it.

another asian beverage, there's this pineapple beer stuff that is mostly non-alcoholic (the alcohol % is super low) that is really good. ALSO most DEFINITELY 90% sugar by weight, i swear it tastes kinda like caramel and nothing like pineapple. still good tho!

Idk who needs to hear this but there is no better way to single-handedly set back an author's return to a fic for another month than to comment this on it

9,11 and 12 for the weird asks :)

Ooh, thank you for the ask!!

9. which do you prefer, hot coffee or cold coffee?

The only reason I started drinking coffee was that I needed something warm in the winter while I walked to class, so cold coffee really doesn't do it for me 😬

11. favorite extracurricular activity?

anything art related, although now I suppose that's part of my curricular activities. Still, I have an art club I go to every once in a while, so I'm counting it <3

12. what kind of day is it?

A dark and lazy one, it's cloudy out and I have the day off, and when I woke up this morning I accidentally fell back asleep till like noon (whoops) ☁️💤

Weird Asks

turns out, adjusting from your sleep schedule being Generally on a second shift track (so sleeping from roughly midnight-1am until roughly 8-9am, being able to leave the house at earliest about 9-10am) Does Not mesh well with 8am classes. and trying to get your body used to getting up and going out that early is really difficult! especially if you're not actually going out at that time, and instead just kinda sitting around the house fully dressed and breakfasted with nothing in particular to do

what kept happening is that i was able to get up at 7:30am one morning, then my body would go "oh that was stupid and we didn't do anything, tomorrow we're sleeping until 9am. maybe 10am. as a treat". which is not great! since 1) i need to be able to get up earlier than that so i could actually make it to class on time, and 2) i need to be able to get up earlier than that on a daily basis for the next several months.

so i clearly needed to get up and Do something. especially since the walk from my house to campus is now a bit of a difficult one for me. so i want to be able to practice it. so clearly i should get up, get ready, walk to campus, and check the time on when i was able to arrive so i can adjust how early i wake up the next morning. except: the building i want to practice getting to is probably closed during winter break, its Cold as Fuck, and if i get there and the building is open i get to just sit there in a boring as fuck building and do nothing until i get up the nerve to head into the cold to go home. that is gonna do the Exact Opposite of telling my body "hey its a good thing to get up and we should do this on a regular basis!"

turns out there's a coffee shop a little bit closer to my house than the building i need to go to. which doesn't give me practice at walking that full distance, but it Does give me a little treat at the end of the walk as a reward. and also, i need to take my meds with food. so if i'm physically able to make the walk to the coffee shop without meds, then order a coffee and pastry and take the meds after having walked in the cold that long, i might be able to convince my body that maybe this waking up early thing isn't so bad, and that we should keep doing this since i'm rewarded with a little treat and also less pain.

See, part of my issue with socializing is I am a very particular person.

And the particular type of people I would get along with are also particular people.

And we're all so fed up with everyone else that we all stay home.

So I cannot find them.

still thinking about how the hipster coffee shop i went to got snobby on me and refused to give me cold brew with milk bec “we dont do that here”

[always-a-slut-4-ghouls]

I’ll make myself tea, drink half of it, forget it, and then be less sure what i want to do when I find it again three hours later

[eye-in-the-wall]

the more tea i drink the more im like. dont think im a tea guy. lol.

I know this topic has been discussed to death on tungle but my favorite trend I've been seeing lately is coffee nerds saying things like "I hear Starbucks is charging an arm and a leg this season for a pumpkin spice latte so I'm gonna show you how to make it at home for around $1.37" and then pulling out $4k worth of espresso equipment
