Instructions

  1. Make strong coffee in a pot or a French press.
  2. Lightly toast the bread slices if you like.
  3. Butter each slice while still warm so the butter melts slightly.
  4. Spread a spoonful of jam over the butter.
  5. Pour the coffee into four cups, sugar to taste.
  6. Serve the coffee and bread slices right away, side by side.

Variations and tips

Honey version. Replace the jam with local flower honey for a gentler sweetness.
