Colectivo Coffee Recipe

Brew the Coffee

Start by boiling 4 cups of water in a kettle or pot.

Once the water reaches a boil, remove it from the heat and let it cool for about 30 seconds to reach the ideal brewing temperature.

In a coffee maker or French press, add 1 cup of Colectivo coffee beans (coarsely ground).

Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds and let it steep for about 4 minutes.

If desired, add milk, sugar, and cinnamon to taste before serving.

Make the Pastry

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.5 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tsp of baking powder, and 0.5 tsp of salt.

In another bowl, mix together 0.25 cup of melted butter, 1 large egg, 0.75 cup of milk, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Pour the batter into the greased baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the pastry cool for a few minutes before serving with your freshly brewed coffee.
