Our connection to the Cafe' Selvanica farmers of Peru, this is an excellent roast for your morning cup of coffee. Sweet with a hint of caramel and a very satisfying finish. Des Moines Creek runs into the Puget Sound through Des Moines and was once in the backyard of KC O'Keefe - the king of Peruvian coffee and the man who introduced us to the Cafe' Selvanic farmers. Mr. O'Keefe has since married a Peruvian princess and now makes his home in Lima, Peru.
The absolute best way to make coffee ice cubes is by using cold brewed coffee. Firstly, cold brew is strong, concentrated coffee which will help keep your iced coffee drink taste great when the coffee ice cubes melt. Secondly, cold brewed coffee is smoother and less acidic than regular coffee so when your coffee ice cubes melt, you can avoid that bitterness that comes with regular coffee ice cubes. Step 1, take your homemade cold brew or purchased cold brew. Step 2, grab a reusable ice tray. Step 3, pour your cold brew into the ice tray, leaving a little space at the top so that the liquid has room to expand. Step 4, freeze for a minimum of 6 hours unless you want to make an iced coffee slushy!
Now you can get crafty with your coffee ice cubes by adding other flavors or cream to them. Some people add cinnamon, nutmeg, or even cayenne pepper to give their iced coffee drinks a little something extra!
