1
Measure Coffee Grounds
Using a measuring cup, measure out 0.5 cups of ground coffee. This will provide a strong flavor for your brew.
2
Heat the Water
In a kettle or pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove it from heat to prevent over-boiling.
3
Combine Coffee and Water
In a coffee maker or French press, combine the measured coffee grounds with the hot water. Stir gently to ensure all the grounds are saturated.
4
Steep Coffee
Allow the coffee to steep for about 4-5 minutes for optimal flavor extraction. For a stronger brew, you can let it steep a bit longer.
5
Strain the Coffee
If using a French press, slowly press down the plunger to separate the grounds from the liquid. If using a coffee maker, simply allow it to finish brewing.
6
Sweeten Your Coffee
Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the brewed coffee, adjusting to taste. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.
7
Add Milk and Vanilla
Pour in 0.5 cups of milk and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the coffee. Stir to combine all ingredients.
8
Serve
Pour the finished coffee into mugs and enjoy hot. Optionally, you can sprinkle some cocoa powder or cinnamon on top for added flavor.
