- Use a French coffee - pot or biggin.
- Put into the strainer of the pot one cupful of finely ground coffee, and pour over this three cupfuls of boiling water.
- Cover the biggin and set on the side of the range, where the contents will keep hot but will not boil, until all the liquid has run from the strainer into the pot below.
- Now pour the liquid from the pot into a heated pitcher, and return it to the strainer again.
- This process should be repeated three times, by which time the coffee will be clear and very strong.
