Coffee Sauce

Pound one ounce best quality fresh roasted coffee beans in a mortar to a fine dust. Have a gill boiling milk in a small saucepan, add the coffee, cover the pan and let boil for two minutes; remove the pan from the fire, let stand on a table for ten minutes, place three egg yolks in a small saucepan and add two ounces of fine sugar. Strain the coffee through a cheesecloth into the egg pan, pour in a light gill cream, briskly mix with a whisk for two minutes, set the pan on the fire and continually mix for five minutes while heating without boiling, remove, strain through a cheesecloth and use as required.
