Boiled Coffee
Proportion for one cupful.
Ingredients
- 1 heaping tablespoonful coarsely ground coffee
- 2 tablespoonfuls cold water
- bit of crushed egg-shell or a little egg white
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions
One egg-shell or 1/2 egg white is sufficient for 8 heaping tablespoonfuls of ground coffee.
Into a well-cleaned coffeepot, place the coffee, 1 tablespoonful of the cold water, and egg. Mix; then add the boiling water and boil for not more than three minutes. Remove from the fire; pour out about one half cupful of coffee, in order to rinse the grounds from the inside and from the spout of the coffeepot. Return the coffee to the pot; add the second tablespoonful of cold water. If the spout is not covered, a piece of paper may be inserted so that the aroma will be retained. Allow to stand in a warm place for about 5 minutes for the coffee to become clear.
Cold water may be used instead of boiling water in making coffee
