Coffee and Milk

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Coffee

    In a coffee maker or French press, combine the coarsely ground coffee and water. Brew according to the coffee maker's instructions or steep for about 4-5 minutes if using a French press. Once brewed, strain the coffee to remove the grounds.

  2. 2

    Heat the Milk

    In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.

  3. 3

    Combine and Serve

    In a large mug, pour equal parts of brewed coffee and heated milk. Stir gently to combine. Add sugar to taste if desired.
