Ingredients
- Water
- 2 cups
- Medium grind coffee grounds
- 2 tablespoons
- Sugar
- to taste
- Milk or cream
- to taste
Instructions
- Begin by boiling 2 cups of fresh, cold water in a kettle or pot until it reaches a rolling boil.
- While the water is heating, measure out 2 tablespoons of medium grind coffee grounds and place them in a coffee filter or coffee maker basket. For a bolder flavor, consider using a dark roast.
- Once the water is boiled, carefully pour it over the coffee grounds, ensuring they are fully saturated. Allow the water to drip through into the coffee pot or carafe, letting the rich aroma fill your kitchen.
- While the coffee brews, prepare your cup by adding sugar to taste. Start with about 1-2 teaspoons and stir well to dissolve completely.
- Once brewed, pour the freshly made coffee into your cup over the sugar, stirring gently to combine.
- Add milk or cream according to your preference. For a velvety texture, try steaming the milk before adding. Stir to create a smooth, creamy finish.
- Savor each sip of your perfect cup of morning coffee as you embrace the start of your day.
Tips
- For a stronger flavor, increase the amount of coffee grounds to 2.5 tablespoons.
- Experiment with different types of milk such as almond, oat, or soy for a dairy-free version.
- For a flavored coffee, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of vanilla extract.
