Heat fresh, cold water to just below boiling and pour it over the grounds. Allow the coffee to brew completely before serving.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to heat, light, and moisture, which can degrade the coffee's flavor. Do not refrigerate or freeze the coffee, as this can introduce moisture and alter the taste. Proper storage helps maintain the freshness and aroma of the remaining coffee.
