The New York Times article Iced Coffee? No Sweat made me really want to try cold-brewed iced coffee. As I didn't want to bother registering to see the recipe, I found it in this blog post. I never did like the bitterness of hot coffee that's been iced...
As for iced tea, I can't make it to save my life--I can never get the ratio of tea to sugar right, usually oversweetening it, to my utter dismay). I also dislike most regular iced tea. What I do like? Plantation iced tea, which is basically 2 parts iced tea with one part pineapple juice (according to this blog post). Oh my god how refreshing and not cloyingly sweet it is! I usually get it in restaurants though, as I fail at making iced tea. ^^; (As an aside, an amusing if old BBC article on making the perfect cup of tea.)
Last but not least, how to make ice cream without an ice cream maker. Sounds so easy and so good!
And because I've yet to make poll since becoming a paid member...
