White Coffee

Is made with coffee that, instead of being browned, is only baked to a slight yellow color and is not ground, or at most the berries are only bruised, and is made with one-half milk and one-half water. It requires twice as much coffee as the ordinary.

For 8 cups take: 2 cupfuls of light baked coffee berries. 4 cupfuls of boiling water. 5 cupfuls of boiling milk.

The berries may have been parched before, but when wanted heat them over again and throw them hot into the boiling water. Close the lid and let stand to draw for half an hour, then add the boiling milk through a strainer. When the milk is first set on to boil, put in a tablespoonful or two of sugar to prevent burning at the bottom. Serve sugar with the coffee as usual, and, if for a party, a spoonful of whipped cream in each cup.
