Coffee Ingredients
Method
Coffee Preparation
Grind the Coffee Beans
Using a coffee grinder, grind the coffee beans to a medium-coarse consistency. This will help to extract the flavors properly during brewing.
Boil the Water
In a kettle, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Ensure that the water is just boiling, as overly hot water can scorch the coffee.
Brew the Coffee
Place the ground coffee in a French press or coffee maker. Pour the boiling water over the coffee grounds and let it steep for about 4-5 minutes.
Strain the Coffee
If using a French press, slowly press down the plunger to separate the grounds from the brewed coffee. If using a coffee maker, allow the machine to finish brewing.
Add Cinnamon (optional)
For a hint of spice, sprinkle cinnamon on top of the coffee before serving.
Serve
Enjoy your freshly brewed coffee hot, or let it cool and serve over ice for a refreshing cold coffee.
