Secret Squirrel Cold Brew Coffee

If you like your Joe iced, we’ll spill the beans on a local find. Husband-and-wife team Rebecca and Trevor Smith grind organic beans and then soak them for days in filtered water. The result is a super-smooth, low-acid, creamy blend that is a coffee lover’s dream. $10 for a 16-ounce bottle that makes about six drinks. Available at the Studio City farmers market every Sunday, Republic of Pie in North Hollywood and at secretsquirrelcoldbrew.com.
