Quick, short, instructional video, how-to, coffee, cold brew, cold brewed. How to make cold brew coffee coffee in a Mason Jar! Cold brew coffee is much, much smoother than hot brewed coffee, and you get more caffeine from cold brewing. Win-win! If you like your coffee hot, you can heat it after cold brewing. To start, get one or more quart-size Mason jars. Add about three heaping tablespoons of coffee to each jar, more or less to taste. Add cold water, and secure the lids. Let sit at room temperature for 12 - 24 hours. Perhaps shake the jars once or twice during this time. When the brewing time is done, strain the coffee with a French press. You could also use a funnel and a coffee filter. Refrigerate to store the coffee. The picture in the title screen was made by adding maple syrup to the coffee (the thin dark layer at the bottom), and then cream. Let it sit for a while and you should get the layers as in the picture. Product or company names mentioned or visible herein the description or video are the property of their respective owners.

You'll need a starter containing live, active yogurt bacterial cultures. Store-bought yogurt containing such cultures can work just fine. Or, you can buy cultures for this purpose. I like to take the starter culture out of the fridge to warm up, when starting the yogurt-making process. Although you can use skim or 2%, I recommend using whole milk for making the yogurt. You can add anywhere from a 1/2 gallon to a gallon of milk to the Instant Pot®. Secure the lid and press the Yogurt button until it reads "boiL". After the "boiL" step completes, leave the heated milk in the Instant Pot® for 30 minutes. This will give you thicker yogurt. After the 30 minutes, remove the lid and remove the skin from the top of the milk. Cool the milk on the counter or in a sink of cold water, until the temperature reaches somewhere in the 110 - 115 degrees Fahrenheit range. This step is to provide the right temperature for the bacteria to grow in. Stir the milk while cooling to help the temperature of the milk even out throughout the pot. Once the temperature reaches the desired level, add the starter and stir. One suggestion is to use 1 tablespoon of starter per quart of milk. Please see https://www.splendidtable.org/story/2013/07/24/yogurt-an-excerpt-from-the-art-of-fermentation. Press the Yogurt button and set the yogurt timer for 8 - 12 hours. Letting the milk culture longer will make thicker and tangier yogurt. I go for 12 hours. I have read of some people culturing their yogurt for 24 hours. If you try 24 hours, please write a note in the comments and tell us how it goes. After the incubation, you should have nice, thick yogurt!! Take out the pot, cover it, and let it sit at room temperature for two hours before putting it in the refrigerator. After the two-hour cooling time, remove some of the yogurt and reserve it as a starter culture for the next batch. Place the yogurt and the starter in the refrigerator.

In this short--and silent--how-to video, see a way to make about three quarts of tea. It goes something like this: Obtain clean Mason jars. Boil water for tea. Clip together four bags of tea per jar. In this example, clothespins keep the little paper tags from falling into the jars. Add the tea bags to the jars. Fill the jars about half full of hot water. Steep as long as desired. Remove the bags. Add sweetener as desired. I prefer honey. Add any flavorings as desired. The video shows ginger being added to one jar, and hibiscus tea to another jar. Add water to fill the jars to about a quart in volume. Let cool to room temperature. Place jars in the refrigerator when done. Thanks for watching!

The words in the video are a combination of the written lyrics on the cassette tape jacket, what I thought was being sung (and in one instance, what I thought was supposed to have been sung--you'll see what I mean), and a little editing (e.g, "all right" rather than "alright", some punctuation). These are the lyrics on the jacket: I want to tell you all a story 'Bout a time when I was walking in darkness My heart was sad, I was lonely I couldn't see my way through it all. Then I heard someone call my name asking me if I want to meet a man He changed my life and it was never the same Now I want to let you in on this thing You don't have to worry When darkness comes He'll be the light over your head You don't have to worry Just trust in Him He'll do what he said There will be times when you are weary You want to sit down and rest for awhile It seems the load you cannot carry You're burdened down and in distress But when it seems your darkest hour That's the time when the Father draws nearer And He will give you power You'll feel like going on again You don't have to worry When darkness comes He'll be the light over your head You don't have to worry Just trust in Him He'll do what he said You don't have to worry He'll help you through when it seems hope is gone You don't have to worry When you can't fight, just keep holding on You don't have to worry when troubles have taken their toll God knows how much you can bear, and He'll save your soul Never worry, never fear, the God I serve is always near In time of trouble and distress that's when He shines and works the best Trust in Him and never doubt, for He will surely bring you out Stop your cryin' dry your eyes, 'cause everything will be alright It seems the load you cannot carry, burdened down and in despair. Then the Father gives you power, you'll feel like going on again. He'll never leave you nor forsake you when all have turned away He will do just what He said, stand by your side until the end Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry No, don't worry.
