Black Coffee Recipe
Ingredients:
• 1 cup of water
• 1 tablespoon of coffee beans
• 1 tablespoon of sugar (optional)
Directions:
Add 1 cup of water to a kettle and bring it to a boil. Add a tablespoon of coffee beans to your grinder, and grind them until they are very fine. If you’d like, add a teaspoon of sugar to your mug. Once the water is ready, pour the boiling water over your coffee grounds in the filter, and let it brew for about 5 minutes. Remove the filter, stir your black coffee, and enjoy!
There are a few key things to keep in mind to make sure your black coffee is the creamiest, most full-bodied cup you've ever had.
1. Use freshly ground beans. We suggest grinding them yourself, but if you have to use store-bought grounds, just make sure they're not too old.
2. Use cold water—you want your water to be hot, but never boiling. If your water is boiling, it's too hot! The perfect temperature for brewing is between 195 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Be mindful of your grinds-to-water ratio (or "dose"). Aim for two tablespoons of grounds per six fluid ounces of water. There are 16 fluid ounces in a pint, so this recipe will yield eight 6 oz cups of coffee.
