Cowboy Coffee Recipe
You don't have to be a cowboy to try this rough and tumble recipe! Cowboy coffee is one of the easiest, most basic coffee brewing methods -- and you can do it over an open fire.
Equipment
- Coffee kettle/pot
- Cup or mug
- A fire or stovetop
Ingredients
- 4 cups water (plus optional 1/4 cup)
- 1/2 cup coarsely-ground coffee
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Pour 4 cups of water into your coffee pot. Add a pinch of salt and place it over an open flame or on your stovetop.
- Once the water is warm, pour in the coffee grounds. Stir well.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil. Let it boil for about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for a minute. This will help the grounds settle to the bottom.
- If you see grounds on the surface, try adding 1/4 cup or less of cold water. If you're in the kitchen and not on a cattle drive, you can also strain the coffee before serving. We won’t tell.
- Serve and enjoy. You can expect full-bodied coffee with a robust flavor reminiscent of a campfire!
