with hot water. Melt the mixture

over a medium-low heat, stirring

occasionally, but do not allow the

water to boil. Once the mixture has

melted, remove from the heat and

allow to cool for a few minutes.

4 Beat the eggs with sugar and

vanilla using an electric hand whisk

or a food processor. Keep whisking

for two-three minutes until the

mixture is pale, thick and glossy.

5 Remove the coffee bags from

the jug, squeezing out the last

bit of coffee. Pour into the egg

mixture, along with the melted

butter and chocolate, and then sift

the flour over the mixture. Use a

metal spoon or spatula to gently

fold in until the ingredients are well

combined. Be careful not to

over-mix or stir too vigorously.

6 Pour the mixture into the tin

and sprinkle over the chopped

chocolate, then bake for twenty

minutes. Note that the middle

should still be slightly gooey inside.

If the brownies are too soft for

your liking, cook for another three

minutes and check again.

7 Allow the brownies to cool in the

tin before lifting out and cutting

into individual squares.
