Coffee Ingredients
Method
Brewing the Coffee
- 1
Boil the Water
In a kettle, bring 6 cups of fresh water to a boil. Ensure the water reaches a rolling boil for optimal extraction.
- 2
Prepare the Coffee Grounds
While the water is boiling, measure out 2 tablespoons of freshly ground coffee beans. Adjust the coffee quantity based on your desired strength.
- 3
Combine Water and Coffee
Once the water has boiled, remove it from heat. Add the coffee grounds into a coffee maker or French press, and then pour the hot water over the grounds.
- 4
Let it Brew
Allow the coffee to steep for about 4-5 minutes. This allows the flavors to develop fully.

Strain the Coffee
If using a French press, gently press down the plunger to separate the coffee grounds from the liquid. If using a coffee maker, allow it to finish brewing.

Add Sweeteners and Flavor
Pour the brewed coffee into your favorite mug. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar (or to taste) and stir. If desired, add milk or cream to taste, followed by a splash of vanilla extract.

Serve
Enjoy your freshly brewed coffee hot. Optionally, you can sprinkle some cocoa or cinnamon on top for extra flavor.
