BASIC COFFEE CONCENTRATE
Sometimes recipes will call for
Coffee Concentrate, a convenient way to use
coffee as a flavor enhancer.
Coffee concentrate is best if brewed in an espresso machine, but if
you don’t have one, any coffee machine will do.
For reliably good results you need to use your machine to about 2/3rds
of its capacity. This will make quite a bit of coffee concentrate, but
you could share it with a friend or freeze it in ice cube trays for
easy storage—
enjoy it in iced coffee.
***Use 6 Tablespoons of a finely ground dark roast coffee
To 6 ounces of water
Brew the concentrate and allow to cool;

Remember: Coffee concentrate is a food flavoring enhancer, not meant to drink by itself.
