This kind of coffee is most popular in the southern states of India, esp. Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, etc. This coffee is prepared from coffee beans fresh roasted, and ground not too fine. It is prepared as a daily ritual in most traditional and even modern homes, as the first thing in the morning. Walk down any lane, bylane or residential area in the early mornings, and don't be surprised by the all-pervading strong aroma of fresh coffee brewing from every other home.In this method, a steel (most commonly) double deckered container is used. The upper portion has a lid, perforated bottom, and a plunger which fits snugly inside. The lower container collects the dripped decoction. It is a slow process, but the full flavour of coffee is extracted since a slow but concentrated decocotion is got.
Preparation:
To prepare this coffee, 1-2 tbsp. of the decoction per cup, and sugar required are tossed from one glass to another till a froth is obtained. Then the cup is filled with boiling hot milk, and the whole mixture is tossed a couple of times to obtain the proper blend and froth. You have the most heavenly aromatic strong coffee ready.
Serve immediately.
Decoction will last a few hours, if refrigerated even a day or two. But the best aroma is of fresh decoction.
