Coffee Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Grind the Coffee Beans

    Using a coffee grinder, grind the coffee beans to a medium-coarse consistency. Make sure not to over-grind, as it can lead to a bitter taste.

  2. 2

    Boil the Water

    In a kettle, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. The water should be just off the boil when you add it to the coffee grounds to avoid scalding.

  3. 3

    Brew the Coffee

    Place the ground coffee in a coffee maker or a French press. Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds and let it steep for about 4-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Strain the Coffee

    If using a French press, press down the plunger to separate the coffee grounds from the brewed coffee. If using a coffee maker, simply pour the brewed coffee into a carafe.

  5. 5

    Add Sugar and Stir

    Pour the brewed coffee into a cup and add 2 tablespoons of sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  6. 6

    Add Milk and Vanilla Extract

    Pour in 1 cup of milk and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the coffee. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the coffee hot. Optionally, you can top it with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for added flavor.
