Cereal Coffee
Put eight tablespoonfuls of cereal coffee into a coffeepot, with one quart of cold water, and a piece of butter the size of a pea. Boil twenty minutes, and serve with hot milk or cream and sugar. Omit butter if cooked in a percolator. To make cereal coffee at home, take three pounds of whole wheat, one pound of whole barley, and roast in the oven, stirring constantly until well browned. When it is the color of coffee, add three tablespoonfuls of molasses and three tablespoonfuls of butter. Stir well, and when the grains become separated, set aside to cool and add one cupful of ground chicory. Grind and use as above.
