🧂 Ingredients

1 Build your fire*, and then separate hot coals from the actual flame, lining them
up in a wide circle to efficiently heat the water.
2 Add the water to your coffee pot and assemble the basket.
3 Add coffee grounds to the basket* and place the lid over your coffee pot.
4 Place your coffee pot directly above the hot coals. Bring it to just under a
boil.
5 Once your coffee pot has come up to temperature, it's best to move it away from
direct flame, after which you will let it percolate for 5-10 minutes before
removing from the heat entirely. Keep it at just under the boiling point.*
6 That's it. Serve and Enjoy!
