Coffee Ingredients

Method

Brewing Coffee

  1. 1

    Measure Coffee Grounds

    Using a tablespoon, measure 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds and set aside.

  2. 2

    Boil Water

    In a kettle, bring 1 cup of fresh water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Combine Coffee and Water

    In a coffee maker or French press, add the measured coffee grounds. Pour the boiling water over the coffee grounds, ensuring all grounds are saturated.

  4. 4

    Steep Coffee

    Allow the coffee to steep for about 4-5 minutes for optimal flavor extraction.

  5. 5

    Strain Coffee

    If using a French press, press down the plunger to separate the grounds from the liquid. If using a drip coffee maker, this step is not necessary.

  6. 6

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If desired, add milk, sugar, and cinnamon to taste. Stir well.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Pour the brewed coffee into a mug and enjoy it hot.
