Notes

  • Coffee powder - Make sure to buy good quality coffee powder.
  • Coffee decoction - Use less water to make strong coffee decoction. We can take even 2 decotion by adding in little more water once the 1 st decoction is taken and used. The 2nd decoction is not very strong.
  • Sweetener - Coffee is meant to have a slight bitterness so I woul d suggest not to add more sugar.
  • Serving - Add coffee decoction as per your taste, add little more if you like your coffee strong. Always froth the coffee by pouring back and forth into the davara tumbler and then serve.
  • Reheating - Once the decoction is added to the milk and coffee is made, do not heat. If you want to heat then place the coffee tumbler inside a container which has boiling water.
