1
Brew the Coffee
In a large pot or coffee maker, combine 1 cup of ground coffee with 4 cups of water. Brew according to your coffee maker's instructions, or bring the water to a boil and steep for about 4-5 minutes if using a French press.
2
Prepare Milk and Sweetener
While the coffee is brewing, in a separate container, combine 1 cup of milk with 2 teaspoons of sugar (or sweetener of choice). You can heat the milk gently on the stove or microwave if you prefer a warm drink.
3
Add Flavorings
If desired, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and/or 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the milk mixture. Stir well to combine.
4
Combine Coffee and Milk
Once the coffee has finished brewing, pour the brewed coffee into a large thermos or travel mug, filling it about halfway. Then, add the milk and sweetener mixture to your taste.
5
Store or Serve
If you are preparing for grab-and-go, seal the thermos or travel mug tightly. Enjoy immediately, or take it with you for on-the-go enjoyment.
