Compositions & Coffee Presents: "Creative Soul Digest"
What’s Brewing With You
What’s up family or better yet, What’s Brewing With You? I know it’s hot so I’m assuming everyone has been drinking iced beverages. I’m still on my ice coffee hustle with an occasional iced tea here and there. But I get it! Every now and then we have to switch it up, spice it up am I right? Speaking of spicing it up this week we are looking at some of my summer favorites. These beverages you can add a little ‘sumptin sumptin’ if you’d like or just simply savor the rich flavor as the perfect cool down. It does it all. Of course, I’ll share my iced tea recipes as well. I’ll save that for last, in the meantime, check these out…
