Here's how to make South Indian Coffee without a filter:

Ingredients: Coarsely ground coffee powder (preferably Indian filter coffee or a blend of Arabica and Robusta), Water, Milk, Sugar (optional)

Instructions: Boil water in a saucepan or kettle. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of coarsely ground coffee powder per cup into a heatproof container. Once the water comes to a rolling boil, pour a small amount (about 1/4 cup) over the coffee powder. Allow the coffee mixture to bloom for 30 seconds to release its flavors. After blooming, pour the remaining hot water over the coffee grounds slowly. Let the coffee steep for 3 to 4 minutes, depending on your preferred strength. While the coffee is steeping, heat milk in another saucepan until it is warm but not boiling. Strain the brewed coffee through a fine-mesh sieve or a clean cloth into a serving cup. Add hot milk to the strained coffee, adjusting the ratio to your taste preference. Sweeten with sugar if desired, stirring until dissolved. Serve hot and enjoy the rich aroma and flavors of South Indian Coffee.
