Drinks

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee

    Start by boiling water to prepare the coffee. Measure 4 cups of water and pour it into a kettle or saucepan. Heat until the water reaches a rolling boil.

  2. 2

    Measure Coffee Grounds

    While the water is boiling, measure out 0.5 cups of freshly ground coffee beans. For optimal flavor, use medium to coarse grind sizes.

  3. 3

    Brew the Coffee

    Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat. In a coffee maker or French press, combine the ground coffee with the boiling water. Stir gently to ensure all the coffee grounds are saturated. Let it steep for about 4-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Strain the Coffee

    After steeping, strain the coffee to separate the liquid from the grounds. If using a French press, simply press the plunger down slowly. If using a coffee maker, allow it to finish brewing.

  5. 5

    Add Milk and Sweeteners (optional)

    In a serving cup, pour the brewed coffee. If desired, add up to 0.5 cups of milk for creaminess. Sweeten with sugar to taste, starting with 2 tsp, and stir well. For an aromatic touch, add 0.5 tsp of vanilla extract.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the coffee hot and enjoy your Signature House Coffee. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or cinnamon for added flavor.
