Brewing
Recently, one of my mentors, Robin Miller Shilling, shared a book called The Coffee Bean. If you have not yet read this amazing book, I strongly suggest you do so. It is an amazing story about what happens when we are going through one of those hot water moments in our life.
The book challenges us to consider whether we are carrots, eggs or coffee beans. Carrots become soft when you put them in hot water. Eggs get increasingly hard when you put them in hot water. Coffee beans, however, are transformed when you let them sit in hot water. It is a powerful life lesson about how we allow challenges to affect. Do we allow them to weaken us, make us hard or transform us into the best we can be in the situation.
This morning, I realized the same is true for room temperature water as well. We are not constantly living in hot water situations and moments. Most of our time is room temperature. So I wondered what would happen if I allowed a carrot, egg and beans to just sit in water. My carrot and egg remained unchanged. However, my coffee transformed, although not as quickly as in hot water. My water still took on the color of the beans and some of the flavor. Not only were my beans transformed, but so was the water in which it was immersed.
As I prepared to make some iced tea in my Cold Brew Pitcher I saw this pitcher as a vessel that, like the pot, facilitated my personal growth and transformation. It is a reminder that even when there are no challenges in my life, the Ultimate is still transforming and using me to transform the world around me. Whether I am using it to make cold brew coffee, iced tea, or infused water, a difference is being made. Do you need a reminder of how we are each cold and hot brewed in our lives? Use our Cold Brew Pitcher.
