Ingredients 3 ingredients

  1. 1 cup of boiling water
  2. Coffee
  3. 1 teaspoon of tea

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. Fine-ground coffee is placed in upper part of coffee pot between spreaders.
  2. Freshly boiling water is then poured over it and drains into the lower part of coffee pot.
  3. Afterdinner coffee is made by pouring the liquid, which has filtered through the coffee into the lower receptacle, back through the coffee a second and sometimes a third time.
  4. Keep the lower part of coffee pot in boiling water so that the liquid will not become cool through the process.
  5. TEA (General Rule) 1 teaspoon of tea to 1 cup of boiling water.
  6. Place the tea in a clean, dry, heated teapot.
  7. Have fresh water heating and when the boiling point is reached and the first bubbling begins, pour immediately over the tea.
  8. Allow to steep for 5 to 6 minutes, but never boil.
  9. If strong tea be desired it should be made with a larger, portion of tea — not a longer period of steeping.
