COFFEE SYRUP

Take half a pound of the best ground coffee; put it into a sauce-pan containing three pints of water, and boil it down to one pint: boil the liquor, put it into another sauce-pan, well scoured, and boil it again. As it boils add white sugar enough to give the consistency of syrup; take it from the fire, and when it is cool put in a bottle and seal. When traveling, if you wish for a cup of good coffee put two tea-spoons of the syrup into an ordinary cup, and pour boiling water upon it, and it is ready to use.
