This simple method of developing a good, strong coffee flavor can, of course, be modified to your own taste. Start with fresh coffee brewed from top-quality beans; do not use instant coffee.

Method

  1. Make coffee 10 times the normal strength.
  2. Bring the coffee to a boil in a saucepan and reduce by half.
  3. Let cool and use as needed. Coffee reduction can be stored at room temperature for a few days; it should be refrigerated if it is to be kept any longer.
