Coffee Ingredients

Method

Brewing Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the Water

    In a kettle or saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Coffee

    While the water is boiling, measure out 2 tablespoons of freshly ground coffee beans. If you prefer a stronger coffee, you can adjust the amount to taste.

  3. 3

    Combine Coffee and Water

    Once the water has reached a boil, remove it from heat and let it sit for about 30 seconds to cool slightly. Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds in a coffee maker or French press.

  4. 4

    Steep the Coffee

    Allow the coffee to steep for 4-5 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your coffee.

  5. 5

    Strain and Serve

    If using a French press, slowly press the plunger down to separate the grounds from the liquid. If using a coffee maker, simply pour the brewed coffee into your mug. Enjoy your black coffee hot!
