Cold Brewed Coffee Concentrate

While this post may be a little untimely as summer has reached its end, there is never a bad time for anything coffee related, at least not for me!

Of course I shot  it, started editing it, made the music, and when it was almost finished, got busy with other things and didn’t wrap things up until now!

Because of these simple, but tasty ingredients, cold rolls make for a great choice for those with a sensitive tummies or gluten allergies! Another bonus is that rice noodles and rice paper is ridiculously cheap – I think I spent tops $3 for the noodles and paper at Superstore.
