Let's start making green coffee
Let's brew green coffee in a French press.You need to pour it in there at the rate of three heaped spoons for every 100 ml. The mixture is poured with boiling water, and then infused. After twenty minutes, you need to squeeze out the coffee grounds and pour the coffee into cups. Green coffee is brewed in a Turk, after holding it on the fire, but not more than a minute. This is necessary in order to warm up the bottom, this will make the aroma richer. If you do not really like the taste, you can brew it together with black coffee, you will get a piquant and unusual drink. After the bottom is warmed up, you need to pour in ground coffee, it is better to put a lot of it so that the aroma becomes even brighter, and then pour in water. There is no single rule, you can pour boiling water, this will reduce the cooking time, you can also heat the water in the Turk, and only then add the ground beans. Ground coffee is also poured with cold water, in this case it is believed that it will be even more useful. After you have chosen the method you like, put the Turk on the fire. The fire should be reduced when a crust appears on the surface. The Turk is removed from the fire when the liquid starts to bubble. This is done to prevent the crust from breaking. Now you need to wait until the crust settles, then you can repeat the heating again in the same way. Next, lightly hit the Turk on the table and pour in half a teaspoon of cold water. You can throw in one ice cube, thanks to this, the process of settling the crust will be faster. Green coffee can also be prepared in a geyser. To do this, pour water into the lower reservoir and cover with a metal filter. Ground green beans are poured into the recess of the filter. The upper part is rolled up and placed on low heat. When it starts to boil, the drink enters the upper section of the geyser. You need to wait until the drink pours into this reservoir, and then remove it from the fire.
