What each ingredient does
- Coffee
- Coffee grounds supply the flavour compounds that are extracted into the hot water.
- Water
- Water is the solvent that extracts flavour from the grounds during simmering.
The step that matters
Simmer for ten minutes after boiling. Simmering extracts flavour from the grounds, but boiling too hard or too long can make the coffee bitter. Keep the heat gentle and time it carefully.
