MEASUREMENT
1 cup = 250ml, 1 tablespoon = 15ml, 1 teaspoon = 5ml
Ingredients
- 2-3 tablespoon Coffee Powder
- 2 cups Fresh Milk or more
- Boiling Hot Water as required
- Sugar as required
Instructions
- In the coffee filter’s top compartment, remove the umbrella handle and put the coffee powder. Gently press down the coffee powder using the umbrella handle. Set the filter and pour boiling hot water into the top compartment atleast until ¾th full. Tightly close it with a lid. Don’t disturb and let it sit for atleast 30 mins.
- The 1st degree decoction would be collected in the bottom compartment. If required, additional decoction (2nd time) can be obtained by adding more hot water again. Remember, it will never be as strong or thick as the 1st one.
- Bring the milk to a boil. Set the tumbler davara set and fill the tumbler ¾th with milk. Now add 2tsp – 2tbsp of coffee decoction to the milk depending on how strong the coffee is needed. Add sugar as per liking. I usually add little less than 2 teaspoon of sugar to my coffee and that’s how I like it.
- Before drinking the coffee, swish it carefully from the tumbler to the davara (the cup beneath) and vice-versa so that the coffee is frothy and the sugar is mixed well.
- Enjoy the filter coffee hot :)
Notes
- I used store bought coffee powder that has 80% coffee and 20% chicory.
- My coffee filter is a small one that makes enough decoction for 2-3 people.
- The amount of coffee powder for single serving is 1 – 1.5 tablespoon (depending on how strong the coffee is needed)
- Water has to be on a rolling boil before pouring into the filter.
- The coffee powder in the filter should be pressed down gently using the umbrella handle. If the coffee powder is too loose, coffee decoction would be strong. If it is too tight, coffee decoction takes hours to percolate at the bottom.
- Add 2 teaspoon to 2tbsp of thick decoction depending on how strong your coffee has to be.
- Remember, never use a spoon to stir-in. Instead, move the coffee in a swift action between the tumbler and cup (or two tumblers).
- Be careful not to move the coffee around so much as it easily cools down by this action :)
