Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coffee grounds
- 1 cup filtered water
- 0.25 cup milk (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sugar or sweetener (optional)
- 0.125 teaspoon cinnamon or cocoa powder (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Boil 1 cup of filtered water in a kettle or small saucepan.
While the water is heating, place 2 tablespoons of coffee grounds into a coffee filter and set up your coffee maker, French press, or pour-over setup.
Once the water reaches a boil, carefully pour it over the coffee grounds. If using a pour-over or French press, pour in a circular motion to ensure all the grounds are evenly saturated.
Allow the coffee to brew for about 3-5 minutes, depending on your preferred strength.
If you're using a French press, press down the plunger gently but firmly after brewing. For other methods, follow the extraction process provided by your coffee setup.
Pour the freshly brewed coffee into your favorite mug.
Optional: If you like your coffee with milk, heat 1/4 cup of milk (either in the microwave for 30 seconds or on the stovetop) and froth it using a frother or whisk. Add the milk to your coffee.
Optional: Stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar or sweetener if desired.
Sprinkle a pinch (1/8 teaspoon) of cinnamon or cocoa powder on top for an extra touch of flavor.
Sip and savor your lovely and luscious mug of coffee!
