Method

Brewing Coffee

Grind the Coffee Beans

Using a coffee grinder, grind 2 cups of coffee beans to a medium-coarse consistency for optimal flavor extraction.

Boil the Water

In a kettle or a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat.

Brew the Coffee

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

Strain the Coffee

If using a French press, press the plunger down slowly to separate the coffee grounds from the brewed coffee. If using a coffee maker, simply let it finish brewing.

Add Sugar and Milk

Pour the freshly brewed coffee into mugs. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 cup of milk to taste. Stir well to combine.

Flavor with Vanilla and Cinnamon

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to each mug. Stir until well mixed.
