Ingredients 3
- 3 tablespoons ground coffee (medium coarse ground)
- 1 pinch salt (optional but recommended to reduce bitterness)
- ¾ cup ( 6 ounces ) boiling water
Method 4
- 01
Boil the water (on a campfire or stovetop).
- 02
Add the coffee and salt to a small pot, jar, or coffee mug (if not straining; see step 2). Add enough boiling water to just wet the grounds and let sit for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, fill the mug with boiling water and stir.
- 03
Wait 4 minutes.
- 04
Strain out the grounds: If you don’t have a strainer, dribble a bit of cold water across the top of the hot coffee, which makes the grounds sink to the bottom*. But this works best with a strainer (or a clean sock!): use it to strain the coffee into a mug. Enjoy immediately.
