Ingredients

4 ham stock cubes
2.5 tablespoons instant coffee granules
2 cups water
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Gather all ingredients to prepare your red eye gravy.
Dissolve ham stock and coffee granules in water in a large mixing bowl to create a flavorful stock for the gravy.
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; add flour. Cook butter and flour, stirring constantly, until brown, to create a roux; this should take about 5 minutes.
Add stock mixture, ½ cup at a time to the roux, stirring constantly, until the gravy reaches your desired consistency, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir in fresh-cracked black pepper. Remove from heat and let stand for 1 minute.
Serve warm with your favorite meal for a comforting touch.
