Coffee Ingredients

Method

Brewing Coffee

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee Maker

    Start by ensuring that your coffee maker is clean and set up on a stable surface. If using a drip coffee maker, insert a coffee filter into the basket.

  2. 2

    Measure the Coffee Grounds

    Using a measuring cup, measure 0.5 cups of ground coffee and add it to the coffee filter or the brewing basket of your coffee maker.

  3. 3

    Add Water

    Measure 4 cups of water using a measuring cup and pour it into the water reservoir of the coffee maker.

  4. 4

    Start Brewing

    Turn on the coffee maker and allow it to brew the coffee. This process typically takes about 5-10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Sweeten Your Coffee

    Once the coffee is brewed, pour it into your favorite mug. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar (or adjust to taste) and stir until dissolved.

  6. 6

    Add Milk or Cream

    Pour in 0.5 cups of milk or cream into the mug with the coffee and sugar. Stir gently until well mixed.

  7. 7

    Flavor with Vanilla

    Finally, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the coffee mixture and stir lightly to combine.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Your coffee is ready! Enjoy it hot or allow it to cool for a refreshing iced coffee experience.
