I’ve always enjoyed the Penzey’s catalog, but never purchased herbs by mail-order at all, so I don’t know of another company like that. I generally buy herbs in bulk from food co-ops, where the prices are very good. But those are more than likely to be on the ‘climate change’ bandwagon as well, whether it’s obvious or not; and of course they won’t have the wide selection.

Perhaps someone else here has a recommendation.

SHAKERATO--Iced Coffee, The Italian Way

An Epicurious recipe. While Italians love to linger over a meal, that same laid-back attitude doesn’t apply here. Italians don’t let hot coffee hang around to cool off and, Dio mio, they wouldn’t think of making cold brew. Their choice? Shakerato (shock-eh-RAH-toe): Hot caffè shaken w/ ice to chill it quickly. Here's the basic method for Caffè Shakerato.

For Two Italians or One American:

Combine 3/4-1 cup fresh-made espresso (2 long shots) or strong-brewed coffee with sugar to taste (hot espresso dissolves sugar quickly). Add to pint Mason jar 8-10 ice cubes (crack if large; about 1/2 cup total); shake vigorously til jar feels cold. The foam is prized; spoon off and reserve; pour the drinks, then divide up foam.

An American drinks from jar w/ straw.

An Italian strains it into two glasses (no ice).
