Equipment

  • 1 Espresso Machine or Moka pot

Ingredients

  • Freshly ground coffee medium-fine grind
  • Water
  • Fresh milk
  • Sugar to taste

Instructions

  • Measure approximately 2-3 tablespoons of coffee grounds for one cup of water.
  • Add the coffee grounds to the upper chamber of the Indian coffee filter.
  • Pour boiling water over the coffee grounds and cover the filter. Allow the coffee to drip into the bottom chamber.
  • Heat the milk until it is just short of boiling.
  • Pour the brewed coffee into a 'dabarah' (a wide metal saucer with lipped edges) or a cup, filling up to a third or half of the vessel.
  • Add the hot milk.
  • Sweeten with sugar as desired.
  • Use the 'dabarah' and 'tumbler' to mix and aerate the coffee by pouring it back and forth a few times. This also helps cool the coffee to a drinkable temperature.
