Ingredients
1
- 1 heaped Tbsp condensed milk
- 1 heaped Tbsp coarsely ground strong coffee beans
- 2 tbsp room temperature water
- Hot water (just off the boil (count 10 seconds after boiling))
Instructions
- 1
Place your condensed milk in your glass or cup.
- 2
Place the ground coffee beans in your drip cup and press down with the plunger to flatten.
- 3
Pour in 2 Tbsp of room temperature water, and count to 10. This will allow the beans to swell up and slow down the drip, making a stronger and more flavourful brew.
- 4
Pour the hot water, almost to the top, stopping about 1-2cm (1/2") from the rim. Or less water, if you want a stronger coffee.
- 5
Leave to drip, it should take about 3 minutes in all. The initial drip may be faster, it will soon slow down. If not, your coffee grains need to be coarser.

Stir and enjoy!
