basket repair
my bike basket broke and i didn't like the expensive options for heavy metal baskets at the bike shop so i decided to repair the one i have for free.
french press honey cinnamon coffee
today i wanted something besides plain coffee this morning so i adapted Wash Perks honey cinnamon latte for my morning cup. first i spooned some colorado unfiltered honey into a jar. Second i let a full batch (double grounds) of coffee steep for 20 minutes or so, then poured the coffee over the honey, added cinnamon and stirred. chill or pour over ice, add a dash of milk if it so suits you.
hemp milk
there are so many kinds of milks out there is cow milk isn't your thing and you don't feel like eating or drinking any soy.
hemp milk is one option that is creamy and healthy...
recipe:
1-2 cups hemp seeds (raw, hulled, organic
amount to taste of the following:
salt
cinnamon
turbinado sugar or honey
1 tsp. xanthan gum (this makes it evenly blend, adds alitte thickness, also optional)
blend together with 24 oz. water for at least one minute.
have a 48 oz. jar, fill blended milk concentrate, fill rest with filtered water, gently shake.
all you need is a blender. i find that blending your hempseeds with less water, then mixing later allows the seeds to be dissolved enough to not need cheese cloth to strain your milk. (less time and washing up!)
