Boiled Coffee
Allow one tablespoonful of finely ground coffee to one cup of boiling water. Put clean eggshells in the pot, or a whole egg is beaten with a little cold water and mixed with the coffee before the boiling water is poured on. Put on the stove, and when it comes to a boil, take off cover and remove from fire. Let stand two or three minutes, then cover and return to the fire until it again comes to a boil. Remove at once, let stand five minutes, and it is then ready to serve.
