Dam Square Dark Roast

Ingredients

Water

4 cups

Dark roast coffee beans

1 cup, coarsely ground

Optional: Sugar

to taste

Optional: Milk or cream

to taste

Optional: Cocoa powder

1 teaspoon (for added chocolate flavor)

Instructions

1. Begin by grinding the dark roast coffee beans to a coarse consistency using a coffee grinder.
2. Boil 4 cups of fresh water in a kettle or saucepan, ensuring that it reaches a rolling boil.
3. In a French press or coffee maker, place the coarsely ground coffee.
4. Once the water has boiled, remove it from heat and allow it to sit for about 30 seconds to reach the optimal brewing temperature (around 200°F or 93°C).
5. Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds, ensuring all the grounds are saturated. Allow the coffee to steep for 4 minutes to develop its rich flavors.
6. After steeping, slowly press down the plunger of the French press or start the brewing process in the coffee maker.
7. Pour the freshly brewed coffee into a mug. For an extra touch of indulgence, add sugar, milk, or cream to taste. You can also sprinkle a teaspoon of cocoa powder on top for a delightful chocolatey finish.
8. Stir well and enjoy your Dam Square Dark Roast while it's hot, savoring the complex flavors.
