1
Grind the Coffee Beans
Using a coffee grinder, grind 0.5 cups of coffee beans to a medium-coarse consistency. This helps to release the flavors more effectively during brewing.
2
Boil the Water
In a kettle, bring 4 cups of fresh water to a boil. Ensure that the water is not over-boiled as it can affect the taste of the coffee.
3
Brew the Coffee
In a coffee maker or a French press, add the ground coffee. Pour the boiling water over the coffee grounds. Allow it to steep for about 4-5 minutes if using a French press, or follow your coffee maker's instructions.
4
Strain the Coffee
If you used a French press, press down the plunger slowly to strain the coffee. If using a coffee maker, the coffee will be automatically strained.
5
Sweeten the Coffee
Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the brewed coffee, stirring until fully dissolved. Adjust the amount of sugar to taste.
6
Add Milk or Cream
Pour in 0.5 cups of milk or cream to the coffee. Stir well to combine. You can also froth the milk before adding for a creamier texture.
7
Flavor with Vanilla
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the coffee for added flavor. Stir well to incorporate.
8
Serve the Coffee
Pour the coffee into your favorite mug and enjoy it hot. Optionally, you can top it with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
