Let’s drink it the Indian way
☕ Kaapi / Madras filter coffee
- South Indian filter coffee specialty
- 70-80% medium-roasted and finely ground beans are mixed with 20-30% roasted chicory.
- A metal filter is used for the preparation.
- In the lower part of the filter comes the coffee mixture. Then the filter is put together, so that the coffee is compressed.
- Pour boiling water into the upper part of the filter, which then slowly drips through the coffee powder.
- The Kaapi is very strong. Therefore, only 1-2 tbsp. of the filter coffee is added to a cup of boiling milk and sweetened with sugar as required.
- Shake until frothy and serve in a typical stainless steel cup with saucer (Tumbler & Dabarah)
Tomorrow we will continue with bag 5!
