Instructions
- Begin by boiling 2 cups of water in a kettle or saucepan until it reaches a rolling boil.
- While the water is boiling, measure out 4 tablespoons of coarsely ground coffee and place it in a coffee filter or French press.
- Once the water is boiling, carefully pour it over the coffee grounds, ensuring all grounds are saturated.
- Allow the coffee to steep for 4-5 minutes. This steeping time extracts the rich flavors and ensures a strong brew.
- If using a French press, slowly press the plunger down to separate the coffee grounds from the liquid. If using a filter, simply remove the filter.
- Pour the strong coffee into a cup. If desired, add sugar, milk, or cream to taste for a creamier texture.
- Stir well and enjoy your invigorating cup of IDF Strong Coffee!
Tips
- For an even bolder flavor, try using dark roast coffee.
- If you prefer your coffee sweeter, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon for a hint of spice.
