Recipe of Indian filter coffee

Indian filter coffee, also known as "Kaapi," is a beloved South Indian beverage cherished for its rich flavour and aromatic aroma. Brewed using a traditional metal coffee filter and served with frothy milk, this coffee is a staple in many households and coffee shops across India. Here's how to make authentic Indian filter coffee at home.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons of coarsely ground coffee powder (preferably a blend of Arabica and Robusta beans)
• 1 cup of water
• 2-3 tablespoons of fresh milk
• 1-2 teaspoons of sugar (optional, adjust to taste)

Method

• Start by adding the coarsely ground coffee powder to the top compartment of the metal coffee filter.
• Gently tamp down the coffee powder using the attached press to ensure even extraction.
• Boil one cup of water separately in a pot or kettle.
• Place the coffee filter on top of a heat-resistant container or traditional coffee tumbler.
  Pour the boiled water over the coffee powder in the filter, ensuring that all the coffee grounds are saturated.
• Cover the filter with the lid and allow the coffee decoction to drip slowly into the container below. This process may take several minutes, so be patient.
• While the coffee decoction is brewing, heat the milk in a separate saucepan or microwave until it is hot but not boiling.
• Once the coffee decoction has fully dripped into the container, remove the filter and discard the used coffee grounds.
• Pour the desired amount of coffee decoction into a serving cup or mug.
• Add sugar to taste, if desired, and stir until dissolved.
• Finally, pour the frothy milk into the cup, holding back the foam with a spoon if necessary to achieve the perfect ratio of coffee to milk.
