Indonesian Coffee

Kopi Tubruk

The secret to preparing excellent Indonesian coffee is to grind the beans as fine as powder. This results in their swift descent to the bottom, and you won't get that gritty taste in your mouth. Typically kopi will be mixed with enough sugar to kill a Komodo dragon. If you want it back, as for it pahit (bitter). To make kopi jahe (ginger coffee), just throw in a few slices of ginger while you're boiling the water.

8 Tbs. cofee, powdered
4 Tbs. sugar
