Optional Flavorings

Method

Brewing Coffee

  1. 1

    Measure Coffee Grounds

    Start by measuring out 0.5 cups of coffee grounds and set aside.

  2. 2

    Boil Water

    In a kettle, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

  3. 3

    Combine Coffee and Water

    Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and slowly pour it over the coffee grounds in a coffee maker or French press.

  4. 4

    Steep

    Allow the coffee to steep for about 4-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your coffee.
