  3. Coffee

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. Upon two ounces of coffee pour seven cups of cold water, then boil it until the coffee falls to the bottom ;
  2. when the froth has disappeared, and it is clear at the top like boiling water, it must be taken off the fire and be allowed to stand, but as it often requires clearing, a little cold water should be poured in it the instant it is taken off the fire from boiling.
  3. A quicker way of clearing it is by putting in a small piece of isinglass ;
  4. when it has stood a sufficient time to settle, pour it off into another coffee-pot, and it is fit for use.
