What Are People Wearing?

Coconut Cold Brew

The United States Food and Drug Administration and the National Coffee Association recommended standard temperature for safe hot coffee is around 160°F to 165°F (71°C to 74°C). This temperature range is considered hot enough to be enjoyable while minimizing the risk of scalding or burning.

These agencies do not have specific regulations or guidelines solely dedicated to cold brew coffee.  However, there are general principles and best practices for handling and storing perishable food products that can be applied to cold brew coffee to ensure safety.*

Cold brew coffee typically requires more time to prepare than traditional hot brew coffee. While hot brew coffee can be made in just a few minutes, cold brew coffee is made by steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period of time, usually between 12 to 24 hours.

The longer steeping time allows the coffee to extract more slowly and results in a smoother, less acidic coffee concentrate. After steeping, the coffee grounds are usually filtered out and the resulting concentrate can be diluted with water, milk, or other liquids and served over ice.

While cold brew coffee does require more time to prepare, many coffee drinkers prefer its smoother, less bitter taste and lower acidity compared to hot brewed coffee. Additionally, the longer shelf life of cold brew coffee concentrate makes it a popular choice for those who like to prepare coffee in advance and have it ready to drink throughout the day.

* These recommendations are based on general food safety practices:

Water quality: Start with clean, potable water to brew your cold brew coffee. Make sure the water source is safe and free from contaminants.

Brewing process: Follow good manufacturing practices and ensure that your brewing equipment and utensils are clean and sanitized. Cold brew coffee is typically brewed using room temperature or cold water over an extended period. Ensure that the brewing container is properly sealed and protected from any potential sources of contamination.

Filtration: After the brewing process, filter the cold brew coffee to remove any sediment or particles. This can be done using a fine-mesh sieve or a dedicated filtration system.

Storage: Store the cold brew coffee in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator. This helps to inhibit the growth of bacteria and maintain the quality of the coffee. Cold brew coffee can typically be stored for a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the specific recipe and preparation method.

Temperature control: Keep the cold brew coffee refrigerated at a temperature below 41°F (5°C) to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.

Serve safely: When serving cold brew coffee, use clean and sanitized utensils, containers, and dispensing equipment to avoid cross-contamination. If you add any additional ingredients like milk or sweeteners, ensure that they are stored properly and do not exceed their recommended storage times.

Rosh Hashanah

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is a time for festive meals and traditional foods that carry symbolic meanings. Some common foods served during Rosh Hashanah include:

  1. Apples and Honey: This combination symbolizes the hope for a sweet year ahead. Apples are dipped in honey and eaten as a blessing for a sweet and fruitful year.
  2. Challah: Challah is a special braided bread traditionally eaten on Shabbat and holidays, including Rosh Hashanah. On this occasion, the challah is sometimes shaped into a round to symbolize the cycle of the year.
  3. Pomegranates: Pomegranates are another symbol of sweetness and fertility because of their many seeds. They are often eaten or their juice is used as a symbolic part of the meal.
  4. Round Foods: Many of the foods served are round to symbolize the cycle of the year. This includes round challah, as mentioned above, as well as foods like round gefilte fish.
  5. Honey Cake: Honey cake is a sweet dessert made with honey and spices, often served as a symbol of a sweet year.
  6. Tzimmes: Tzimmes is a sweet, slow-cooked dish made from carrots and sometimes sweet potatoes or prunes. It represents the hope for a sweet and prosperous year.
  7. Fish: Fish, particularly the head of a fish, is often served, symbolizing the desire to be “the head” and not “the tail” in the coming year.
  8. Leeks and Gourds: In some traditions, leeks and gourds are eaten, and their names in Hebrew sound similar to the words for “destroy” and “annihilate,” symbolizing the hope that enemies will be removed in the new year.
  9. Black-Eyed Peas: In some Jewish communities, particularly Sephardic Jews, black-eyed peas are eaten for luck on Rosh Hashanah.
  10. Wine: Wine is traditionally used for blessings during the meal, and it’s common to make a special blessing over a cup of wine called “Kiddush.”

These are just some of the traditional foods served during Rosh Hashanah. The exact dishes and customs can vary among Jewish communities and families, but the overall theme is to wish for a sweet, happy, and prosperous new year.
