<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Deseeding pomegranates is a task to which most people have an aversion. It can be laborious and messy. That being said, I've come up with a series of steps that will help any individual deseed this wonderful and delicious fruit.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">1) Start with one pomegranate.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">2) Cut off the top of the pomegranate, to the point where the seeds start appearing.</span><br />

</div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">3) You will observe that there are five distinct areas where the fruit seeds are accumulated at the top. Make five shallow cuts along the lines that run between these seed pockets.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">4) Using both hands, pry apart each section. The multiple seed pockets should dislodge easily.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">5) Place the open pomegranate in a bowl and fill it with water.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><div style="text-align: center;">

Doing this will prevent pomegranate juice from splashing on you.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">7) You'll find that the seeds will sink to the bottom and the pith will float to the top. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Remove the pith from the water.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><div style="text-align: center;">

Baked oatmeal is turning into one of my favourite, go-to quick meals. It's a variation on regular oatmeal, but with a fluffier texture and a protein punch.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div>
Begin with one half cup of dry quick oats.</div>
<div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisC4VUbNjqVV0_XnGMwbVzrrx-UrwKXV3fxcDp6X-3FOnYOsdV0lAI9BfeY7vyn26jr1n0iO2AR5Ndd-FWxbDwsCBAuGHgpZPgxnJ1uNmE_58hjdjuzD6h1wmuf8-YMa6xkTChRa8R-Szl/s1600/image2.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisC4VUbNjqVV0_XnGMwbVzrrx-UrwKXV3fxcDp6X-3FOnYOsdV0lAI9BfeY7vyn26jr1n0iO2AR5Ndd-FWxbDwsCBAuGHgpZPgxnJ1uNmE_58hjdjuzD6h1wmuf8-YMa6xkTChRa8R-Szl/s320/image2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
Cook the oats by adding boiling water and letting it sit for approximately 3-5 minutes or until all of the water has been absorbed by the oats.</div>
<div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgABIpwVdq6_E7aZaNzNfZJNmjcehuV7tStjl8i0qmsCIHiwxkIAP5ApVi9mvmGKCKoYsQ5RXWn8MyVuJp5ZO5VuKM720eEkAhB24-OpP1H7PVgLacaZ4PfkGFzrxTCWsHG_zUeI2ZFS-iE/s1600/image3.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgABIpwVdq6_E7aZaNzNfZJNmjcehuV7tStjl8i0qmsCIHiwxkIAP5ApVi9mvmGKCKoYsQ5RXWn8MyVuJp5ZO5VuKM720eEkAhB24-OpP1H7PVgLacaZ4PfkGFzrxTCWsHG_zUeI2ZFS-iE/s320/image3.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
Add one over-ripened banana and one large egg.<br />
<br />
Other non-essential ingredients can also be added at this time (e.g. vanilla, raisins, cinnamon, nuts, chocolate chips, carob chips, chopped dates, peanut butter, cinnamon, protein powder, etc.). I decided to use a teaspoon of vanilla and a handful of sweet raisins this time.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
A touch of honey or maple syrup can also be added at this point, to impart additional sweetness, if desired.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjluuMfaWgOdDbIh7IIR7E3xDlv2dVKU1P1xjECU1iI1ZizkyfNtA_nu3av_DcNISWsWU1wcdQeSd752mpeI3LgUKQI8KXB5woNn0IHhplQAzPBtSW6GseXAMObopkaC_-ZCyXg0rUAbuRO/s1600/image4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjluuMfaWgOdDbIh7IIR7E3xDlv2dVKU1P1xjECU1iI1ZizkyfNtA_nu3av_DcNISWsWU1wcdQeSd752mpeI3LgUKQI8KXB5woNn0IHhplQAzPBtSW6GseXAMObopkaC_-ZCyXg0rUAbuRO/s320/image4.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
Combine the ingredients thoroughly, until the mixture resembles a muffin batter-like consistency.</div>
<div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtIPdp1tvKQnqbz-0KNuQQuWmkcwhD11aqwfa-sDviSH7PB23__B76SlwmltSfwQpy6WgKVTyyr32OAzPn0xtLaVFXiQ_fBF7WjQTQViqs1VPElvom5_i2gbo7Vi0y8biVWTg3V2dMMnks/s1600/image5.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtIPdp1tvKQnqbz-0KNuQQuWmkcwhD11aqwfa-sDviSH7PB23__B76SlwmltSfwQpy6WgKVTyyr32OAzPn0xtLaVFXiQ_fBF7WjQTQViqs1VPElvom5_i2gbo7Vi0y8biVWTg3V2dMMnks/s320/image5.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
Spread the batter on a foil-lined baking sheet, so that it is approximately 1/4 - 1/2" thick.</div>
<div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicCmPAk2MjCAGwC0HrpktAMbIWOgaMDKKxuQpiXlxN3aYSkZWWZ_LrWTXZOhLSa-FJyYlD9GlT1WVsvu6sIGpf98IpHg_frfKFVfbQoCiFSiNBxvyyymbAbXKkYTvJ05QthzOlBxIAocy5/s1600/image6.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicCmPAk2MjCAGwC0HrpktAMbIWOgaMDKKxuQpiXlxN3aYSkZWWZ_LrWTXZOhLSa-FJyYlD9GlT1WVsvu6sIGpf98IpHg_frfKFVfbQoCiFSiNBxvyyymbAbXKkYTvJ05QthzOlBxIAocy5/s320/image6.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
Bake the mixture until it is golden brown. To achieve this, I normally use a toaster oven, set at 250°F for 10 minutes.</div>
<div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

Spoon the baked oatmeal into a bowl, while it's still hot, and enjoy.</div>

Have you ever seen cocao nibs in a health food store? Well, cocao nibs are roasted cocao beans which have had their husks removed. They have a chocolaty flavour, as these beans are the main ingredient in chocolate.<br />
<br />
Like chocolate, they are full of antioxidants and minerals including iron. However, unlike chocolate, cocao nibs do not dissolve in hot liquids.<br />
<br />
To make a naturally-flavoured chocolate coffee, at a tablespoon of ground cocao nibs in with your ground coffee, during the brewing process.<br />

Cold days like this that make me crave heavy foods. Often times, these heavy foods tend to be quite unhealthy.
<br />
<br />
That being said, I try to fill that craving with different variations of oatmeal. Oatmeal is a warm, heavy food that can be nutritious, satisfying and easy to digest.
<br />
<br />
For those of you who like a creamy texture in their foods, try oatmeal with coconut cream and bananas.
<br />

<br />
For people craving a spicy warmth, try oatmeal made with a dash of turmeric powder and a drizzle of honey.

For added protein, top your oatmeal with an all-natural nut butter like almond butter, cashew butter or peanut butter.

You can even make oatmeal into lunch or dinner by mixing it with a curry base and adding some pre-cooked chicken or turkey.<br />

- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon</div>
<div>
- a pinch of salt</div>

<i>At this moment, you're probably wondering, 'what the heck is lucuma powder?'. Lucuma is a fruit native to Peru. In Canada, one can by lucuma in powdered form. It is relatively expensive, compared to refined white sugar. This one-pound package cost me $18.79 at a health food store. (No one said healthy alternatives were cheap. If it's worth anything, the package below will last me for approximately 1 year.)</i></div>

If you're on a high-protein diet, these egg cups are for you.<br />
<br />
Take 2-3 slices of deli meat and line the sections of a disposable muffin tin. I would strongly advise you to use disposable tins, as it makes clean-up very easy. Also, there is no need to grease the tins prior to use.<br />
<br />
Try using all-natural deli meats that are made without preservatives. I find that sliced chicken or turkey works best.<br />
<br />
Once lined, crack an egg into each of the meat-filled sections.<br />
<br />
Bake in a 375°F oven for approximately 20-25 min.<br />
<br />
For variations, try adding cheese (dairy or non-dairy), spices and/or herbs.<br />
<br />
They stay well in the fridge and are very easy to heat up. These egg cups make a great addition to breakfast, lunch or dinner and they also make a fantastic snack.</div>

<div>
These pizza rolls are actually easier to make than they look. The prep time is approximately 7 minutes and the method is really easy...stupid easy, actually.<br />
<br />
Begin with an amount of pre-prepared dough. You can buy fresh dough a number of places including grocery stores, bakeries or even your local pizza shop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKqnkl_NDlNyqoBWam-vzEap2o4NrNcNDd72WuxsFy7ZM81BM84eDADmwtkuEv1qZID8-5z8-pPfeD-7KyiScJYjqgcAkGhc1xMprt0dADoZdERVhGbXmDmb0BfeWodpKQUBv9wH4ns_fp/s1600/image1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKqnkl_NDlNyqoBWam-vzEap2o4NrNcNDd72WuxsFy7ZM81BM84eDADmwtkuEv1qZID8-5z8-pPfeD-7KyiScJYjqgcAkGhc1xMprt0dADoZdERVhGbXmDmb0BfeWodpKQUBv9wH4ns_fp/s1600/image1.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
On a clean surface, dusted lightly with flour, roll out the dough into a semi--rectangular shape. There is no need to flip or turn the dough. Just roll it out on one side. You may need to lightly dust your rolling pin with a bit of flour in order to do this.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Once rolled out, smear on a layer of tomato paste with the back of a spoon.<br />

<div class="mobile-photo">
Finding dairy-free chocolate, suitable for a "no-refined sugar" diet can be somewhat difficult...especially if one is looking for chocolate that is made without artificial sweeteners. However, I've come across a few ready-made chocolate products that can help with those chocolate cravings.<br />
<br />
Unsweetened Chocolate:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieadJHsl-C7AiiVVO8GHAjQh1wSoR7TjshtbiFC-n5DH2Ca0yp4AddYl2j09ROWQ4UhStT2qgkOMdoIk6eY4DRYTUbPnujCw9yHI-F8gSx_YxKn3IQIkiWIAQGLNlI5TPbObYdsjakLWR8/s1600/image1-796421.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieadJHsl-C7AiiVVO8GHAjQh1wSoR7TjshtbiFC-n5DH2Ca0yp4AddYl2j09ROWQ4UhStT2qgkOMdoIk6eY4DRYTUbPnujCw9yHI-F8gSx_YxKn3IQIkiWIAQGLNlI5TPbObYdsjakLWR8/s320/image1-796421.JPG" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6105767156521323826" /></a></div>
<br />
Firstly, unsweetened Baker's chocolate. This chocolate is relatively inexpensive and can be found in most grocery stores. It contains no sugar at all. It's great for use as an ingredient in desserts, cooking and baking (naturally).<br />
<br />
Next comes chocolate made with unrefined cane sugar. Chocolate made with this type of sugar takes on a more complex flavour. Unrefined cane sugar provides some flavour details that are lost when sugar is refined. The earthy flavours of sugarcane mixed with dark chocolate work together beautifully.<br />
<br />
Dark Chocolate:<br />

<br />
One of my favorite dark chocolates, made with raw cane sugar, is by a company called Vivani. The packaging is horrible, but the chocolate is divine.<br />
<br />
Note: You can find this product, as well as the other chocolates featured on this blog entry, in health food stores across Toronto.<br />

Alter Eco makes this product called "Blackout". The chocolate includes vanilla beans in its ingredient list. The chocolate is rich, but lacks the smoothness of the above two products. However, I'll still take it paired with a black coffee.<br />

This all natural cookie recipe will meet mostly everyone's dietary needs. It gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free and contains no refined sugars. Even if you don't have dietary restrictions, you'll probably like these healthy treats.
<br />
<br />
They are also ridiculously easy to make.
<br />
<br />
Ingredients:
<br />
3 ripened bananas (mashed)
<br />
2 tbsp natural peanut butter
<br />
2 tsp honey
<br />
1 container (110 mL) crushed apples
<br />
2 cups quick oats
<br />
Optional: unsweetened carob chips (my preference), chocolate chips, chopped dates, or raisins.
<br />
<br />
Combine all of the ingredients together in a mixing bowl and spoon onto a lightly greased baking sheet (greased with olive oil).
<br />
<br />
Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes. Allow for the cookies to cool before removing them from the baking tray.
<br />
<br />
It's that simple.</div>

I've also noticed that they can be quite expensive to buy at health food stores. </span>Making them is actually quite easy and relatively inexpensive.<br />
<br />
You'll need to find yourself some date paste. Date paste is comprised of dates, that have had their pits removed, and packed firmly together. </div>

<br />
If oatmeal has become your hated choice for breakfast gruel, you may want to switch things up by using bulgar (bulgur) instead.
<br />
<br />
Bulgar is a cereal food made from the hulled kernels (groats) of wheat. The wheat is normally parboiled and contains a fair amount of fibre.
<br />
<br />
To make it, simply bring 1 part bulgar and 2 parts water to boil in a pot. Cover the pot and let the bulgar simmer on low heat for 15 minutes. (Cooking times will vary depending on the size and type of bulgar you are using.)
<br />
<br />
In any case, the cooked bulgar can be enjoyed in any way you like. I like to have it with some warmed almond milk and a dollop of all-natural jam.</div>

Gianduia (also spelled gianduja) is a chocolate-hazelnut spread. You may have heard of an Italian product called Nutella. Well, Nutella is actually the brand-name for a type of gianduia.
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzB7V3vrTD1qdAJIlDSitzw_WASOx1NoO5VH2_kYWYmqkPaiMwnQqrb3NNXNxn9YbwQa6aGpPlOzcUuKsrCUm_O8zTdIhT0clD2SN8ZULE2IZ92OMX4KqbZdEzgYnG3wYyaYPepWgDtx0P/s1600/IMG_7011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzB7V3vrTD1qdAJIlDSitzw_WASOx1NoO5VH2_kYWYmqkPaiMwnQqrb3NNXNxn9YbwQa6aGpPlOzcUuKsrCUm_O8zTdIhT0clD2SN8ZULE2IZ92OMX4KqbZdEzgYnG3wYyaYPepWgDtx0P/s1600/IMG_7011.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
If you have tasted Nutella, you are probably aware that it is awesome. Well, for those of you who have dairy and refined sugar restrictions, you definitely will not be able to enjoy the Ferrero version of the spread.
<br />
<br />
However, what if I told you that you could make your own dairy-free and sugar-free gianduia, in a matter of minutes?
<br />
<br />
Please note that the no measurements are required for this recipe.

<br />
You can work with a double boiler, in order to not scorch the ingredients, but feel free to work directly on the stove top if you feel that your skills are advanced enough. Note, chocolate can and will burn easily if you don't know what you're doing.

<br />
Begin with melting a desired amount of unsweetened Baker's chocolate.
<br />
<br />
Once melted, add carob powder to sweeten.
<br />
<br />
(Carob powder is derived from the fruit of the carob tree. It is also known as St. John's-bread or locust bean. Carob powder is used as a substitute for cocoa powder and can be found quite easily in bulk food stores. Simply put, carob powder is very similar to cocoa powder, except that it does not contain any stimulants, like caffeine. Additionally, it contains some carbohydrates, making it naturally sweet. To me, it tastes a bit like "caramel meets maple syrup".)
<br />
<br />
Add enough carob powder to meet your desired level of sweetness.
<br />
<br />
Your mixture may become clumpy at this time.
<br />
<br />
To the mixture, add enough hazelnut butter to equal approximately 1/3 of the amount of melted chocolate and carob.
<br />
<br />
(Gianduia normally consists of approximately 30% hazelnut paste. I use hazelnut butter, because in Canada, hazelnut butter can be found easily in major grocery stores.)
<br />
<br />
The natural oils in the hazelnut butter should smooth out the clumps and bring the mixture to the consistency of a spread. If the mixture has not loosened up enough, feel free to add either some olive oil or coconut oil in order to get it to the desired consistency.
<br />
<br />
At this point, your dairy-free, refined sugar-free gianduia will be ready to enjoy.</div>

If you're trying to stay away from refined sugars or artificial sweeteners, you have a number of options, of natural food ingredients, that can be used in their place. One of your options could be to use fig syrup, a.k.a. miele di fichi or fig honey.
<br />
<br />
Personally speaking, fig syrup tended not to aggravate my intestinal flare-ups. It may also be a good option for you if "fiber is not your friend".<br />
<br />
In Canada, this product is basically impossible to purchase. So, you'll have to make it yourself. Don't worry. It's actually quite simple. <a href="http://ilblogqb.blogspot.ca/2011/08/miele-di-fichi.html">Click here</a> for my recipe.</div>

People love ice cream. I don't care if you can digest dairy or not. It's delicious. However, for those who cannot consume dairy or refined sugars, it can be quite difficult to satisfy an ice cream craving.
<br />
<br />
Making banana ice cream is actually quite simple, as it requires only one ingredient. Bananas. That's all.
<br />
<br />
Take sliced pieces of a frozen banana and blend until smooth. It's as simple as that. The texture of the banana will become smooth and creamy, just like real ice cream.
<br />

<br />
Personally, I like to add a few other ingredients to impart some awesome flavour. Try adding a dollop of all-natural peanut butter and some crumbled baker's chocolate (unsweetened) to the mix, before blending. It's delicious.
<br />
<br />
As a word of warning, you will want to consume this "ice cream" immediately. It does not freeze or keep well after it is made. However, with a frozen dessert made this quickly and easily (and being tasty to boot), you won't have any leftovers to keep.</div>

<br />
Pressure cookers tend to be known as nostalgic cookware. However, in the days of trying to make meals with limited preparation time, this gadget is a must have.
<br />
<br />
I know that people tend to use slow cookers in order to prepare meals in advance. This process often involves some piece of meat that is slow cooked, over a number of hours, so that it is tender and delicious.
<br />
<br />
In contrast, pressure cookers cook meat (and other foods) extremely quickly to a tender state. The ingredients are cooked in a pressurized environment, so that rapid cooking can be achieved. The beauty of cooking using a pressure cooker is that it allows for all of the ingredients to be placed in one pot, with a minimal amount of liquid required.
<br />
<br />
Here is a an example of chicken, prepared in the pressure cooker, for 25 minutes, from frozen.
<br />

Try finding a pressure cooker to add to your collection of cookware. I'm sure you'll find plenty of uses for it in your daily lives. It's not just for grandmothers.</div>

Raw fruit and veg, generally, tend to be very difficult to digest. An easy solution, to help with digestion, is to cook the vegetables. To further aid in the process, currying the vegetables can provide digestive support.
<br />
<br />

<br />
Green tomatoes might just be one of my favourite kitchen ingredients. That being said, green tomato curry might also be one of my most favourite curries to make.
<br />
<br />
Green tomatoes cook very easily and quickly. So, you can add it to any curry base.
<br />
<br />
The recipe for my quick curry base can be found by <a href="http://ilblogqb.blogspot.ca/2010/10/curry-in-hurry.html">clicking here</a>. Just substitute the okra and carrots for some chopped green tomatoes. You can also reduce the cooking (simmering) time to approximately 10 minutes.</div>

Digestive ups and downs can lead to painful burning sensations to one's gastro-intestinal system. To find relief, often times I would rely on a product called Aloe Vera Gel (inner fillet) by Lily of the Desert.
<br />
<br />
Unlike commercially produced aloe drinks, this gel has no other ingredients other than the aloe vera gel itself. So, it has no added sugars. This is good to know, as refined sugars, in my opinion, tend to have inflammatory properties (not good when you're trying to reduce inflammation).
<br />
<br />
Think of this aloe gel like the kind you would use on your external body after a burn. The same type of cooling sensation and healing can be experienced internally.
<br />
<br />
The dosage I would use was 1-3 oz in a glass of water. I would drink up twice per day, on an empty stomach, until my symptoms subsided<br />
<br />
You can find this product in local health food stores.</div>

People with digestive issues often suffer from chronic or intermittent diarrhea.
<br />
<br />
Instead of loading up on pharmaceutical drugs, try drinking a tea made by steeping the peel of a pomegranate in hot water.
<br />
<br />
This infusion can be used to ease diarrhea.</div>

Cold brewed coffee produces a product with up to 70% less acid. For some, this coffee may be easier to digest. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To make it, soak ground coffee beans in cold water for 12 to 14 hours. Strain, heat and enjoy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For a stronger brew, soak the ground coffee for 24 hours. You'll end up with cold brewed espresso.</div>
