Instructions

  1. Let the coffee be freshly ground;
  2. put it into a saucepan, with the milk, which should be made nearly boiling before the coffee is put in, and boil both together for 3 minutes; clear it by pouring some of it into a cup, and then back again, and leave it on the hob for a few minutes to settle thoroughly.
  3. This coffee may be made still more nutritious by the addition of an egg well beaten, and put into the coffee-cup.
