Black coffee is a pure, bold drink made without milk or sugar. You can brew it with instant coffee, a French press, or a drip machine. It’s ideal for keto, intermittent fasting, or anyone who enjoys strong coffee flavor.

Ingredients

1–2 tsp instant coffee or 1 cup brewed coffee (French press, drip, or espresso)
1 cup hot water (for instant) or as per your brewing method
Optional: pinch of cinnamon, cardamom, or a dash of honey (if not strict black)

Directions

Boil water
Heat 1 cup of water until just before boiling (~90–95°C or 195–205°F).
Add coffee
In a mug, add 1 to 2 tsp of instant coffee (depending on how strong you want it).
Pour & stir
Pour hot water into the mug and stir well until the coffee is completely dissolved.
Serve
Drink it plain, or add a tiny pinch of cinnamon or cardamom if you like a flavored touch.
