Ingredients

FOR THE DECOTION:

  • 3 heaped teaspoon coffee powder
  • 3/4 cup water

FOR THE COFFEE:

  • 1/4 cup strong decotion adjust according to the strongness you want
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 2 teaspoon sugar

Note* : This decotion can make around 2-3 cups of coffee depending on the strongness.

    Instructions

    • Choose good quality filter coffee powder. Take your coffee filter.
    • First add 3 teaspoon of filter coffee powder to the filter upper container, set aside. Now boil water.
    • Place the stick inside then add boiled water.
    • Close with the lid and set aside undisturbed for 15-20mins until all the decoction drops down. The decoction drops down and gets collected in the lower part of the filter.
    • Boil milk first then place it inside a bigger container which has boiling water.
    • Let it boil until you start preparing the filter coffee.
    • Add sugar in the serving tawara.
    • Then add the coffee decoction. Mix once.
    • Then strain milk.
    • Pour from the tawara to the tumbler for once or twice until frothy. Serve hot!
    • Kumbakonam Degree Coffee is ready serve it hot and frothy. We always serve filter coffee in a set of tawara tumbler.

    Notes

    • Choosing good quality filter coffee powder is a must.
    • As we double boil the milk, malai starts forming so its better to always strain milk and then serve.
    • I added a little more decoction to get a strong coffee, but its up to your preference.
    • But personally I love the slight bitter taste in filter coffee.
    • Once the decoction is added to the milk, do not overheat. If you want to heat then place the coffee tumbler inside a container which has boiling water.
    • You can refrigerate the decoction for a day.
    • We can take even 2 decoction by adding in little more water once the 1 st decoction is taken and used. The 2nd decoction is not very strong.
    • If you use decoction stored in fridge, heat the decoction separately by placing it inside a container which has boiling water.
