South Indian filter coffee/ madras coffee/ filter coffee

This is a traditional way of making South Indian coffee. You will need a coffee filter/bullet to make this special coffee.
They are easily available in all Indian stores.

Coffee powder plays an important role in making a good coffee. Mix equal quantities of freshly roasted, ground Peaberry and Plantation A coffee beans for tasty coffee.

Chicory can be added to make a stronger coffee. Usually 50 grams of chicory is added to 1 kg of ground coffee powder. I always get chicory powder separately (10 grams packet) from India.

I keep coffee powder and chicory powder in the freezer until I use it. Whenever I am done with the existing coffee powder, I take a fresh packet out, mix chicory and then make coffee with it.

Coffee powder- 7 teaspoons
Water- 1 cup
Sugar- 3/4 tsp
Boiled milk- 3/4 cup
