All of our worldly possessions, including our new coffee pot, are on a boat somewhere in the Caribbean. Luckily, our guest house came equipped with a coffee sock.
Here's what you'll need to make coffee Honduran style: one small covered pitcher, one tea kettle, one bag cafe copan (Honduran coffee from the region of the Mayan ruins), two coffee cups, one coffee sock.
A coffee sock is a really neat little gadget. Its kind of like a wizards's hat made out of cheese cloth with a wire around the brim.
Boil water.
While you are waiting for the water to boil place your coffee sock in your coffee pitcher and fill the sock to the brim with coffee. Be careful not to carelessly spill coffee grounds all over the counter like Tom always does.
Pour the boiling water into the coffee sock.
Wait for the coffee to drain through. Sometimes this takes a few minutes. This is the hard part. But it is also the magical part.
Pour coffee.
And enjoy!
