gpc,
Well - St. George, Hot, and growing like a weed.
I have used hot water for the expedited steeping but the rice thing sounds much better and doesn't destroy the labels. I have been porting my juices to glass bottles lately so I don't have to worry about melting plastic.
This steeping thing... A real pain in the backside. Also I have found some juices change a lot some not so much... kind of like a crap shoot.
That said I have had some that the change was from complete junk to absolutely great after about a month.
I have been thinking about trying heat and high speed stirring to expedite the steep time. The local kitchen supply
shop sells a gadget to create a froth on a cup of mocha and it is pretty cheap - just a thought.
Sorry, I am rambling, still on my first cup of coffee.
