Coffee & Tea

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Measure and Grind Coffee Beans

    Measure out 0.5 cups of dark roast coffee beans and grind them to a medium-coarse consistency using a coffee grinder.

  2. 2

    Boil Water

    In a kettle, bring 4 cups of fresh water to a boil. Ensure the water is clean and filtered for the best taste.

  3. 3

    Combine Coffee and Water

    Once the water has boiled, remove it from heat and let it sit for about 30 seconds. This will bring the temperature down slightly. Place the ground coffee in a French press or coffee maker, and pour the hot water over the coffee grounds.

  4. 4

    Steep Coffee

    Allow the coffee to steep for about 4-5 minutes. If using a French press, place the lid on and press down gently after steeping time is complete.

  5. 5

    Add Sweetener and Cream

    Pour the brewed coffee into your mug. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, and stir until dissolved. Then, add 0.25 cups of milk or cream to your liking.

  6. 6

    Finish with Vanilla

    Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to your brewed coffee for an extra layer of flavor and mix well.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Enjoy your brewed dark roast coffee hot. You may also serve it iced by letting it cool and pouring over ice.
