What to do with leftover coffee?
We drink coffee sporadically around here. And when everyone drinks coffee sporadically, this can mean that a pot may be drained instantaneously, or it may remain unused for days.
Stale coffee just doesn’t taste all that great. So what to do with the leftovers?
Personally, I put them in the refrigerator after pouring the remaining coffee into a jar with a lid.
Interesting note: if you leave uncovered coffee in the fridge with a browning banana, you will soon have banana-flavored coffee.
Some people take it a bit farther by putting their leftover coffee in the freezer. Some make their leftover coffee into coffee cubes to use in iced coffee. And apparently you can make a mean steak sauce with leftover coffee. If you’re feeling creative, you can use it to artificially age papers to make them look more like old parchment. Some color Easter eggs with them; personally I don’t see the point, since that’s what color my chickens lay anyway.
