Army Coffee

Coffee or tea may be made quickly by placing the required quantity of cold water in the pot, and adding the coffee, tied up in a up in a sack of fine gauze, or piece of muslin; bring to boiling point, boil five minutes and serve. Make tea in the same way, except that the tea is put loose in the water, and simply allowed to boil up once.
