Simple Recipes for Outdoor Cooking

Campfire Coffee

• Fill a coffee pot with water and place or hang it over the fire.

• Add ground coffee – use a coarse grind suitable for boiling – about 1 tablespoon per cup (150 ml).

• Bring to a boil – how long you let it boil is a matter of preference. Some bring it to a boil three times, others remove it at the first bubbles.

• Take the pot off the fire and let it sit for a couple of minutes so the grounds can sink to the bottom.

• Serve and enjoy.
