Because I don’t have a espresso machine I bought some cold brew in a bottle. I got some nice tonic water too and ice cubes, and now I can make a nice Coffee Tonic every morning to enjoy. Ok I agree that it’s better during summer, but every now and then during winter I still want to have a refreshing glass of fruity coffee.

    Sounds good. Love the fever tree stuff.

    What does not having an espresso machine have to do with resorting to buying bottles cold brew though?

        They have two types of ginger beer - there is a lighter one that isn’t full of sugar which is really good by itself or as a mixer.

        Yes, I can’t get an espresso shot at home but cold brew is also the next best thing, it doesn’t have those bitter flavors in it which you often get with hot brewed coffee and which don’t mix well with the tonic. You want something fruity.

          But you don’t need an espresso machine to make really good cold brew.

            Yeah, that was not the point. I just mentioned that I don’t have espresso machine so I need to do something else. The something else is cold brew, but because I’m too lazy to make it myself I bought a bottle of it instead :)
