1
Prepare Your Ingredients
Gather your coffee or tea leaves and water. Make sure your coffee or tea leaves are fresh for the best flavor.
2
Boil the Water
In a kettle or pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. If you are using tea, adjust the temperature based on the type of tea you are using (black tea: boiling, green tea: about 175°F).
3
Add Coffee or Tea Leaves
Once the water reaches a boil, remove it from the heat. Add 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds or tea leaves to the hot water.
4
Steep the Mixture
Allow the coffee to brew for about 4-5 minutes or the tea to steep for 3-5 minutes depending on your preferred strength.
5
Strain and Serve
If using coffee grounds, pour the coffee through a coffee filter or strainer into your cup. For tea, remove the tea leaves using a strainer. Serve hot.
