Ingredients
- a pound of Java
- a pound of Mocha
- a tin baking-dish
Method
- If practicable, procure a small family coffee-roaster.
- Have three quarters of a pound of Java, mixed with a quarter of a pound of Mocha, place it in the roaster, and taking one of the lids from off the stove, put the roaster on a moderate fire, and turn the small handle constantly and slowly until the coffee becomes a good brown color;
- for this it should take about twenty-five minutes;
- open the cover to see when it is done, then transfer it to an earthen jar, cover it tightl)%and use when needed;
- or, a more simple way, and even more effectual, is to take a tin baking-dish, butter well the bottom, and placing the same quantity of coffee therein, put it in a moderate oven to let get a good golden color;
- twenty minutes will suffice for this, being careful to toss it frequently with a wooden spoon, then remove to an earthen jar.
- and cover it well.
