Breakfast Coffee

Allow one tablespoonful of coffee to each person. The coffee when ground should be measured, put in the pot, and boiling water poured over it in the proportion of three-quarters of a pint to each tablespoonful. The instant it boils take the pot off, uncover and let it stand a minute or two; then cover, put it back in the fire and boil again. Let it stand for five minutes to settle; it is then ready to pour out.
