FILTER COFFEE


Fiter coffee is made using a coffee filter. It is the old version of today's coffee meachine. In earlier days dried coffe beans were roasted and powdered just before making  coffee. I skip one step and buy roasted coffee beans from the super market and powder in a coffee mill, 1 or 2 table spoons at a time. Whenever I visit India I remember to buy  "Bru  Green Label Roasted and Ground coffe" from there. This is also very good for making filter coffee.  

INGREDIENTS

1. Coffee powder - 2 table spoons
2. Hot Milk - 1/2 cup
3. sugar - 1 tea spoon
4. Boiling water

PREPARATION

1. Add coffee powder into the upper compartment of the filter.  Pour 1 cup of boiling water over it. Close with the lid and wait for five minutes. Strong coffee  is collected in the lower compartment. This process is called decoction.

2. Mix  hot milk, sugar, and enough hot water and coffee in a steel tumbler. Mix it well by pouring into a steel "davara" and back 2-3 times.

3. Refrigerate the  remaining coffe for using next time.
