COFFEE (French method)

Pour a pint of boiling water upon two and a half ounces of freshly-ground coffee. Put the lid on the coffee-pot, and place it on the hob to simmer gently without boiling. Stir it occasionally, and at the end of two hours take it off the fire, and let it stand for a quarter of an hour to clear. Pour the coffee into the cups, and serve with milk and sugar. Probable cost, 2s. per pound. Sufficient, two and a half ounces for one pint of coffee.
