- 1/2 cup ground coffee
- 1/2 cup filtered water (for brewing the coffee)
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp sugar
Instructions
- Brew your coffee according to the instructions on the coffee making device you’re using. See notes for directions if using a saucepan to make your coffee.

Notes
If brewing coffee in a saucepan: add water and bring to a simmer before adding in coffee grounds, simmering together for a minute, killing the heat, allowing it to steep for 2 minutes, then straining through your colador into a large cup. Add brewed coffee, sugar and milk to a clean saucepan and steam until hot. Enjoy!
