How to brew coffee without coffee filter

 

The first time I had coffee was at my friend Gayatri's house and I instantly fell in love with it( almost 20 years).  Her mom makes the best coffee, and I must say I haven't had that good coffee again till date. The trick lies in brewing it. At our house we never had a coffee maker or coffee filter, so the very few times I had coffee I always made an instant one.

Until recently, my neighbour Swapna aunty taught me to brew coffee without any machine. I was like, this is so cool, I need no expensive machines for a good coffee. This method is so easy and so perfect, you would love it. Best part, you can even store it in your refrigerator for 5 days. Throw some ice cubes to the coffee brew and your cold brew coffee is ready!!

Coffee powder-1 tbsp
