Black coffee recipe is mainly prepared by brewing the coffee powder in hot water. But still the coffee can be brewed in multiple ways according to each person’s preference and taste.

Black coffee recipe can be prepared by fresh coffee beans and even with instant coffee powder. Both are easily available in market.

For fresh coffee beans, you need to toss the coffee beans in a dry pan for some time and then would need to grind it in a coffee grinder after cooling down to room temperature before use.

Though the flavour of both the black coffee recipe prepared with fresh coffee beans or instant coffee powder are much different from each other but still both are very refreshing.

Traditionally black coffee recipe is prepared by adding the coffee powder after boiling the water and it is simmered for some time for better aroma and taste. But now a days for instant black coffee recipe, coffee powder is added to the cup and then boiled water is directly added into the cup and stirred for instant result. But I personally prefer the traditional way to prepare black coffee recipe. It takes little bit of time and care but gives better result.

Usually in black coffee, no milk and sweetener are added. It is only prepared with coffee powder or coffee granules and water. The taste of black coffee has been adapted by many and they are addicted to it.

Still many people like to add little bit of sweetener in their black coffee to reduce the bitterness. But the addition of sweetener is completely optional and even I am trying hard to skip it.

I belong to Assam, the heaven of tea where the major portion of tea is produced. So, it is quite obvious that I have the habit of having tea since student life. In fact, in my house everyone takes tea twice daily. Once in the morning and another cup at afternoon or evening. It is a compulsory routine which never gets changed. It was only during winter that Dad used to bring a bottle of instant coffee powder and we used to have coffee in the evening. But we always used to prepare the coffee with milk and sugar.

For my work life, I went to Bengaluru and there I have seen the craze of coffee in south India. It was a completely different experience for me. There I got diverged from tea to coffee with the trend and crowd. But in my PG, I noticed that most of the girls drink black coffee rather than regular coffee. They told me the advantages of having black coffee and how its far healthier than regular coffee.

Honestly, a cup of black coffee is way healthier than regular coffee prepared with milk and sugar. Then I started taking instant black coffee everyday other than regular coffee. Initially, it took time to develop the taste and I used to prefer very mild black coffee. But now I am addicted to its taste. It makes my morning so refreshing with a healthy kick.

Black coffee recipe is one of my favourite breakfast beverages because it is so simple and easy to make. It requires only 2 basic ingredients which are easily available in any kitchen pantry. The best part of the recipe is that it is highly customizable, and you can prepare it according to your own preference. You can make it strong or mild. Even you can add or skip sweetener from it. You can add your preferred sweetener like sugar, honey or maple syrup etc.

Coffee powder: The primary ingredient of the recipe which provides taste, flavour and colour to the beverage. You can choose choice of your coffee powder, whether it is prepared from fresh coffee beans or instant coffee powder for the recipe

Water: Another most important ingredient for the recipe which provides body to the beverage. Use clean and pure filtered water for the recipe.

Sugar (Optional): Sugar reduces the bitterness of the black coffee, but the addition of sugar is completely optional. I have used caster sugar for the recipe, but you can also substitute it with brown sugar.

Black coffee recipe is low in calorie and cholesterol. So, it is considered as a great beverage for weight loss. No sugar and sweetener are added to the instant black coffee recipe. Hence, it is completely fat free.

Black coffee is bitter in taste and most of the people have adopted its taste. Few fitness freaks who are still struggling to adopt to its taste can add little bit of honey into their coffee.
