Dead Eye Coffee Recipe at Home
If you’re looking to kick your coffee experience up a notch, the Dead Eye Coffee is your go-to brew. This bold beverage combines three shots of espresso with a generous amount of brewed coffee, delivering a powerful jolt that’s perfect for those who truly love their caffeine fix. Let’s dive into the deliciousness!
Ingredients
- 3 shots of espresso (about 3 ounces total)
- 6 ounces of brewed coffee (medium roast works great)
- Optional: sugar or sweetener to taste
- Optional: milk or non-dairy milk (such as oat or almond) to taste
Method
- Start by brewing your favorite coffee. Use a medium roast for a balanced flavor, and brew about 6 ounces. Aim for a water temperature of around 200°F (93°C) for optimal extraction. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
- While your coffee is brewing, prepare your espresso. If you have an espresso machine, pull three shots (about 1 ounce each). If you’re using a stovetop espresso maker, follow its instructions. This should take about 5 minutes.
- Once both the brewed coffee and espresso are ready, combine them in a large mug. Pour the espresso over the brewed coffee gently to maintain some layers if you’d like a visually appealing drink.
- Taste your Dead Eye Coffee. If you prefer it sweeter, add sugar or a sweetener of your choice. You can also stir in some milk or a non-dairy alternative if you like a creamier texture.
- Enjoy your drink hot, or let it cool slightly and pour it over ice for a refreshing iced version!
Optional variations
- For a sweeter taste, try adding flavored syrups like vanilla or caramel.
- Swap the brewed coffee with a decaf option if you want to enjoy it later in the day without jitters.
Troubleshooting tip: If your coffee tastes bitter, check the grind size of your coffee beans; too fine can lead to over-extraction.
Serving suggestion: Pair your Dead Eye Coffee with a slice of rich chocolate cake or a buttery croissant for a delightful breakfast or afternoon treat.
Now, brew yourself a cup of Dead Eye Coffee and revel in that bold, rich flavor! Enjoy the extra kick and let your taste buds dance!
