32 fluid ounces = 1 quart

(3/4) cups coffee is 6 fluid ounces.
(1/4) cup milk is 2 fluid ounces.

Note, the recipe uses 3 parts coffee to 1 part milk.
Coffee: fluid ounces.
Milk: fluid ounces.
Sugar: from 3 tspns for 8 fl oz to 32 fl oz, multiply by 4, to get tspns.

That was the scaled-up recipe to ONE quart. Note that the question is for TWO quarts, so you would multiply that already-scaled-up version, by 2.
