Coffee Recipe

People have different ways of making coffee, but a very easy one is to

measure out a tablespoonful of ground coffee for each cup desired, tie

up in a square cheesecloth, and cover with an equal number of cups of

boiling water. Set on the stove where it will keep just below the

boiling point, for three minutes, then pour and serve with cream and

sugar. But to make this way, grind very fine. If your friends prefer

boiled coffee, however, measure out a tablespoonful for each person,

moisten well with part of the white of an egg, cover with one cup of

cold water, and when that boils, add rest of the required amount from

your boiling teakettle. Cook for five minutes, then settle with a third

of a cup of cold water, and place where it will not boil up again. This

will make one cupful apiece.
