1 tsp. tops ground coffee,
2 tsp. sugar, small piece of vanilla stick,
1 cup water.
Dissolve the specified amount of sugar in the water and bring to a boil. Add a tiny piece of real vanilla to the boiling syrup before pouring in the coffee, but by no means vanilla sugar. Then, after taking the boiling water off the fire for a short time, pour in the necessary amount of ground coffee, put it back on the fire, let it boil only once and immediately pour it into cups.
