Ingredients

  • 4 ham stock cubes

  • 2 ½ tablespoons instant coffee granules

  • 2 cups water

  • 3 tablespoons butter

Directions

  1. Dissolve ham stock and coffee granules in water in a large mixing bowl to create a stock.

  2. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; add flour. Cook butter and flour, stirring constantly, until brown, to create a roux, about 5 minutes.

  4. Stir in black pepper. Remove from heat. Serve warm with meal of choice.
