Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices stale bread
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional)
- 1 teaspoons sugar (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
1. Brew a cup of fresh coffee using your preferred method (e.g., drip, French press, or instant coffee). Pour the coffee into a mug or bowl deep enough to dip bread slices.
2. If desired, add milk and sugar to the coffee and stir well. You can also sprinkle a little cinnamon for added flavor.
3. Take the stale bread slices and lightly toast them if they feel too soft or soggy. Toasting them will give a slightly crisp texture.
4. Dip the bread slices into the warm coffee, letting them soak for a few seconds. Be careful not to let the bread soak too long, as it might break apart.
5. Eat the soaked bread immediately, enjoying the soft texture and coffee-infused flavor.
6. Serve and savor the simple pleasure of this comforting snack or breakfast. Repeat the dipping process with the remaining bread slices.
