Coffee Ingredients

Method

Brewing Instructions

  1. 1

    Measure the Coffee

    Start by measuring out 2 tablespoons of freshly ground coffee beans. This amount is typically enough for a strong cup of coffee.

  2. 2

    Boil the Water

    In a kettle, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Ideally, the temperature should be around 200°F (93°C) for optimal brewing.

  3. 3

    Combine Coffee and Water

    Once the water has boiled, pour it over the measured coffee grounds in your coffee maker or French press.

  4. 4

    Brew the Coffee

    Allow the coffee to steep for about 4 to 5 minutes. If using a French press, press down the plunger after this time.

  5. 5

    Add Milk (Optional)

    If you prefer your coffee with milk, pour in 0.5 cups of milk at this stage. Stir well to combine.

  6. 6

    Sweeten Your Coffee (Optional)

    Taste your coffee and add sugar to your liking. Mix until fully dissolved.

  7. 7

    Flavor with Vanilla (Optional)

    For an extra flavor boost, add 0.5 tsp of vanilla extract and stir thoroughly.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Pour the brewed coffee into a mug and enjoy it hot. You can garnish with whipped cream or cocoa powder if desired.
