Bloodstone Coffee
Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp cayenne
- 1/8 tsp star anise
- 14 grams ground vietnamese coffee beans
- 1 tbsp (28 g) sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk in a glass. Add the cinnamon, cayenne, and star anise and mix together. Grind the coffee into a medium grind. The image below gives a good idea of grind size.
- Place the coffee filter on the glass and add the coffee inside. Tighten the metal plate on top of the coffee until it compacts the coffee down then loosen about a half rotation.
- Add 30 grams of boiling water to the filter and wait about 20 seconds. Then add the rest of the water to bring the total water added to 200 grams, add the metal cap to the top of the filter, and wait for the water to pass through.
- The goal is to have all of your water move through the filter in about 3-5 minutes. The cap on the filter keeps heat in the brewing chamber, but it helps to occasionally remove it and see how much water has passed to get down the timing. If your water finishes too quickly, tightening the metal plate on the coffee can be tighter or using a finer grind can lengthen the process. If it takes too long, try doing the opposite.
- Once the water is done, remove the filter, mix, and enjoy!
