Coffee Ingredients

Method

Coffee Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a kettle, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Ensure that you have fresh water for the best flavor.

  2. 2

    Measure Coffee

    While the water is boiling, measure out 2 tablespoons of freshly ground coffee beans and place them in a coffee filter or French press.

  3. 3

    Brew Coffee

    Once the water has reached a boil, pour the hot water over the coffee grounds. If using a French press, let it steep for about 4 minutes before pressing down the plunger.

  4. 4

    Add Milk or Cream (Optional)

    If you prefer a creamier coffee, add 0.5 cups of milk or cream to your brewed coffee and stir well.

  5. 5

    Sweeten to Taste (Optional)

    Add sugar to taste, starting with 1 teaspoon, and adjust according to your preference.

  6. 6

    Spice It Up (Optional)

    For a hint of warmth, sprinkle in a dash of cinnamon (about 0.25 tsp) to your coffee and stir.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Pour the coffee into your favorite mug and enjoy it hot. You can also add ice if you prefer iced coffee.
