French-style coffee
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. French-style coffee is a perfect combination of aromatic, invigorating strong coffee with cognac. The distinctive feature is the addition of sea salt, which we gently heat together with the coffee and then brew. Also, for making French-style coffee, we need a good cognac with a rich and fragrant bouquet. Whether this drink is beneficial or harmful is up to doctors to decide; I'll just say that even a morning cup of this beverage is a great mood booster.

Step 1
So, prepare the necessary ingredients and the vessel in which you'll brew the coffee. I traditionally do this in a Turkish coffee pot.

Step 2
First, add coffee and a pinch of sea salt (a knife tip's worth) to the Turkish coffee pot. Slightly warm it over heat, then pour in cold water. Simmer over low heat until foam begins to rise, then remove the pot from heat. Once the foam settles, return the pot to the heat and again wait until foam appears, then remove from heat once more. Repeat this process twice in total. Finally, permanently remove the coffee from heat.

Step 3
Preheat the coffee cup with hot water, then pour in the cognac. The coffee should no longer be boiling, but still hot. Now you can also pour it into the cup. Serve the finished French-style coffee with cookies, ideally with meringues.
