Mousse with Coffee

Put four ounces of coffee into a small saucepan, pour over a little more than one teacupful of water, and add to this one ounce of sugar, and boil. Mix in slowly the yolks of two eggs, allow the mixture to become cold, strain it, and add two breakfast cupfuls of well-whipped cream. Pour the mixture into a glass, and serve.
