Boil water for making decoction.

Prepare the south Indian coffee press with the decoction collector at the bottom.

Add 3 to 3.5 heaped tablespoons of coffee and chicory mix to the press.

Lightly press the coffee mix without making it too compact.

Place the sieve with the coffee mix on top of the decoction collector.

Pour hot water over the coffee mix and cover the apparatus to let the coffee steam bounce back.

For an alternate method, line a sieve with muslin cloth and add 2 heaped tablespoons of coffee and chicory mix.

Press the coffee mix lightly with the back of a spoon and add hot water in batches.

Wait for 20 minutes for the decoction to drip through.

Check the decoction after 20 minutes; it should be nice, intense, and thick.

Heat full fat milk in a separate container and add sugar to taste.

Once the milk reaches a rolling boil, prepare to make the coffee.

Take the prepared decoction and add it to a dabra or cup.

Pour the hot milk over the decoction and stir.
