Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. a half ounces of freshly-ground coffee
  2. a pint of boiling water upon two

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.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Pour a pint of boiling water upon two and a half ounces of freshly-ground coffee.
  2. Put the lid on the coffee-pot and place it on the hob to simmer gently without boiling.
  3. Stir it occasionally, and at the end of two hours take it off the fire and let it stand for a quarter of an hour to clear.
