Steps
Heat the water until fully boiling. Measure the coffee powder into the upper chamber of a South Indian coffee filter and gently level it without packing it tightly.
Pour the boiling water slowly over the coffee powder, filling the upper chamber. Fit the lid and allow the liquid to drip through into the lower chamber for about 8–10 minutes, until a dark, concentrated decoction forms.
While the decoction brews, heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming hot, taking care not to scorch or boil it over.
Add the sugar to two heatproof serving tumblers or cups.
Pour about half of the strong coffee decoction into each serving vessel over the sugar.
Add the hot milk to each vessel and stir until the sugar dissolves and the coffee and milk are evenly combined.
For the traditional frothy texture, pour the coffee back and forth between a tumbler and davara, or between two heatproof cups, from a short height several times. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
The post identifies the drink as South Indian filter coffee but does not provide written quantities or instructions. The amounts and method are standard estimates for two servings. Use a coffee filter specific to South Indian filter coffee; instant coffee will not produce the same decoction or flavor.
