Method

Coffee Brewing

  1. 1

    Brew the Coffee

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add 0.5 cups of coffee grounds. Stir briefly to combine.

  2. 2

    Steep the Coffee

    Cover the saucepan and let the coffee steep for 4-5 minutes, depending on desired strength.

  3. 3

    Strain the Coffee

    After steeping, strain the coffee using a fine mesh sieve or a coffee filter into a pitcher. Discard the coffee grounds.

  4. 4

    Cool the Coffee

    Let the brewed coffee cool to room temperature, or refrigerate it for faster cooling.
