Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon Greek coffee such as Loumidis or Bravo.
  • sugar optional
  • water

Instructions

  • Pour 60 ml of water into a small pot with a narrow mouth. 
    Add a full teaspoon of coffee and sugar according to your preferences. 
    Mix well and cook on medium heat until it swells and forms a creamy foam.
    The effect will be similar to making cocoa with milk on the stove.
  • The second the foam reaches the top, remove the small pot immediately from the heat.
    Do not let it boil!
  • Slowly pour the coffee into your cup.
    Be patient so all the creamy foam stays on top.
    Let the coffee grounds settle on the bottom of the cup for a couple of minutes.
    Enjoy!
