Coffee Preparation
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Roast the Coffee Beans
In a dry pan, roast the coffee beans over medium heat until they turn dark brown and release a rich aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
- 2
Grind the Coffee Beans
Allow the roasted beans to cool. Once cooled, grind them in a coffee grinder or mortar until you achieve a coarse powder consistency.
- 3
Prepare the Water
In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle boil. Don't let it boil too vigorously to avoid evaporating too much water.
- 4
Add Coffee and Cardamom
Once the water is boiling, add the ground coffee and crushed cardamom pods. Reduce the heat to low and allow it to brew for about 10 minutes.
- 5
Strain the Coffee
After 10 minutes of brewing, strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve or coffee filter into a large pot or container.
- 6
Add Sugar
Stir in the sugar while the coffee is still hot, adjusting the amount to your preference.
- 7
Serve with Milk
In a serving cup, pour the coffee and add hot milk to taste. Stir gently and enjoy your Madras Coffee.
