Hello Readers!

This is my first ever blog. To tell you the truth, I never saw what a blog looked like until yesterday. So I thought, why not? Let me also start writing!! I think, all of you would agree with me, that writing a blog is like talking to yourself...more like a sounding board. Sometimes it is difficult to think when all your thoughts are jumbled up. This is when you need to separate them and put each one in a clear glass bottle and label them properly in order to work with each one at your leisure. And that's exactly what a blog is meant to do...at least for me. So at the end of the day, if someone reads it and comments on it, then that's an added bonus!

As of today, It's overcast and cool and I am at home typing this blog. The reason why I named my blog 'Black Coffee' is because over a cup of steaming black coffee one can talk about almost anything and everything under the sun or maybe not speak at all! But it makes for a quiet introspective session with yourself or with someone else, where new ideas often come to mind and enthusiasm brews like nobodies busyness. So, to start the day,I must share with you my secret receipe for making black coffee.



You'll need to have a good quality filter coffee, instant coffee just wont do!

mesure water in the same coffee cup that you will be drinking in and put it on the flame. Cover it and let it simmer. Just before the water starts to boil, turn off the flame. Put in the filter coffee in heaped tablespoons, two heaped tablespoons for one mug. Cover it and let it soak for five minutes. Then strain out the coffee into the mugs and add sugar as per your taste.

This process is to be followed by those who can drink very strong coffee. You will also find a certain amount of sludge at the bottom of the cup, that's ok. PersonallyI like the grainy texture of the coffee whenI drink, but if you don't like it then you could strain it through a cotton cloth.

That's all for today! Hope you enjoy the coffee!
