How to Make Demitasse Petite Coffee With A Lemon Twist

  1. **Brewed Method:** Heat 6 ounces of water to near boiling. Add 2 tablespoons of finely ground coffee to a small French press or coffee filter. Steep for 4 minutes. Press or remove the filter and pour into a warmed demitasse cup.
  2. **Instant Method:** In a warmed demitasse cup, stir 1 teaspoon of instant coffee granules into 2 ounces of hot water until dissolved.
  3. **For both methods:** Gently twist a small strip of lemon zest over the coffee to release the oils (avoid adding the white pith). Discard the zest.
  4. Serve immediately. Offer sugar on the side; cream is optional.
