31 Days to #ASimplerJoy: Tummy Friendly Coffee

A Simpler Joy

41f8ooCPhzL

As I have mentioned before, my hubby has chronic GI pain.  This has definitely caused him to avoid coffee in the past.  Caffeine can upset the GI system, but the acid level in coffee is often a major factor as well.  These days we cold brew our coffee, which results in much lower acid levels than hot brewed coffee.  You can read more about the benefits of low acid coffee here.

I live in Phoenix.  Did y’all know it is hot here…a lot?  I love ice coffee anyway, but living in the dessert drives me in that direction too.  My sweet hubby makes coffee (mostly for me) and leaves it in the fridge.  I can have ice coffee everyday – much cheaper than Starbucks!  And he can have some too, once in a while.  It takes about 12 hours to steep, so you have to plan ahead.  He makes it the night before and I put it in the fridge the next morning.  It can be a little tricky to get the hang of making it, so please feel free to email me if you are interested…I can consult my coffee tech support and get back to you.  😉

I love to have my ice coffee with a good amount of milk and sugar free vanilla syrup.  Having ice coffee anytime I want?  Does that make me spoiled?  Maybe, but I love that it is cheaper and readily available.  And I love that the Toddy Maker and its replacement parts are available on Amazon.com.  Amazon Prime strikes again!  My Cold Brew Toddy Maker is #ASimplerJoy.

When the first day of school is also the day your When the first day of school is also the day your firstborn drives herself to college, it’s a lot. We moved her stuff into her dorm last week. Today she got up early to say goodbye to Dad (too early! Not pictured 😂), her brother, her doggo, her piano, and her momma. Before she left, she made blueberry scones to share with her little bro @sjoshlafont —they homeschool and relocated together, went to @westminsteroakmtn together, and have shared a love of music, Legos, superheroes (and villains), Transformers, and so much more. She played my favorite song. She even made banana bread to bring to her new roomie. @graciethenerd You are my little nut brown hare, and I love you to the moon and back. Auburn University is a better place because you are there! ❤️

Also, so grateful for the wonderful school where she spent the last four years—the perfect place to land after years of homeschooling on the move. “For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.” (Ps 100:5) #curatingthegood #graduated🎓 #wisebeyondheryears @graciethenerd @lafonte04 @westminsteroakmtn
