Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brewed Coffee

    Begin by brewing your favorite coffee using a coffee maker or French press. Use a medium grind and measure 6 oz of water for a rich flavor.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Espresso

    While the coffee is brewing, prepare a shot of espresso using an espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker. Aim for a strong and rich shot.

  3. 3

    Combine the Beverages

    In a large coffee mug, pour the brewed coffee, followed by the shot of espresso. The combination will create a rich and invigorating drink.

  4. 4

    Sweeten and Cream

    Add sugar to taste and stir well. If desired, add milk or cream to the coffee mixture for a creamier texture.

  5. 5

    Add Cocoa (Optional)

    For an extra touch, sprinkle cocoa powder on top of the drink. Stir gently to incorporate.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Enjoy your Red Eye hot, and feel free to adjust the sweetness or creaminess to your preference.
