Instructions

  1. Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan.
  2. Add the ground coffee, lower the heat and let it simmer for 3 minutes, stirring.
  3. Let it rest for 3 minutes off the heat so the grounds settle, then strain through a fine sieve or a colander lined with a coffee filter.
  4. Return to low heat, add the milk and sugar, and heat for 2 minutes without letting it boil. Serve right away.

Variations and tips

No-milk version. Replace the milk with the same amount of hot water for a sweet black coffee, closer to the drink served in the countryside.
