I am just sharing the measurement of the coffee powder which i use here and it may slightly vary from the different varieties of powder available in the market. Once u make continuously for 3- 4 days you come to know about your coffee powder. INGREDIENTS: METHOD: USING STAINLESS STEEL FILTER
Heat the upper part of the coffee filter ( the part with holes) for a 3-4 seconds.
Place it over the down part and add 1/4 tsp of sugar to top portion. Adding sugar is purely optional. If you have any diabetic people around do not add sugar. The addition of sugar is to give thickness to the decoction. Add 1-2 tblsp of coffee powder to this and bring the water (approx 1/4 cup) to a nice rolling boil. Add the very hot water to the filter and slightly cover this with the lid.
After few minutes the decoction will be ready. Boil the milk till it comes up and pour it to a tumbler. Add the decoction (generally the first decoction will be strong and so you can add little only.) to the milk. Add sugar. Do not add more than 1/2 tsp of sugar for 1 cup of milk . the more the sugar you add it will suppress the flavor of coffee. Even sometimes my mom skips adding sugar as we add sugar while making decoction.
Froth it up by nicely giving a mix using another tumbler. Do not over do as it may end up in cold coffee.
MAKING FILTER COFFEE IN ELECTRIC COFFEE MAKER: I use the preethi coffee maker for a so many years and it works out quite well. They give one small and big filters to wherein you have to put the coffee powder. Generally i use the small one , but if you are making for more than 5 people then use the bigger one.
Insert the small filter cup into the big one.
Add the coffee powder (approximately 2 tblsp) Place it on the coffee maker.
Switch on the filter and it will just 3-4 minutes to get the decoction ready. Switch off when the red light in the electric coffee maker turns off.
Follow the same step as we followed in the last stage as boiling milk, adding sugar and decoction and froth it up.
Notes: Hope i have mentioned everything clearly in the post, have any queries feel free to write to me. the post made me for a craving of filter coffee now itself. So i am going to make afresh cup of filter coffee now.
