The word Filter Coffee itself has a wonderful aroma and flavor in it. I never like to have coffee, but I love to have to filter coffee. Evenings are always special for me from my childhood, when I am back to home from school, the brewing smell of the coffee pulls me to kitchen. But my mom brews coffee using a pot. The very first time I had filter coffee during my travel to hometown in a Kumbakonam Filter Coffee shop.

After that I too got a filter at home and started brewing my coffee – “Filter Coffee”. Now daily evening I and my daughter never miss to have this Filter Coffee. No words for the taste and smell of the filter coffee.

• Carefully remove the upper portion of the filter, you could see the decotion collected at the bottom portion of the filter.
• Take ¾ cup of milk along with a tsp of sugar and pour in ¼ tsp of coffee decotion and start pouring the milk from one cup to another cup fastly, so that you could get lots of froth.

Note:

1. Add salt only in the filter not to the milk and this is optional as it avoids the bitter taste.
