Contains Milk Read from the ingredients, not verified. Check labels.

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. 1 pint very strong made coffee—fresh and hot.
  2. 1 pint boiling milk.
  3. The coffee should be poured off the grounds through a fine strainer (thin muslin is the best material) into the table coffee-pot.
  4. Add the milk, and set the pot where it will keep hot for five minutes before pouring it out.
