United Kingdom

Known as a British recipe, with similar versions prepared across other nations.

Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. 1 pint of freshly boiling water
  2. 2 ounces of ground 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. Put 2 ounces of ground coffee into an earthenware pot, and make it thoroughly hot, but on no account let it burn.
  2. Pour on to it gently 1 pint of freshly boiling water from a clean kettle.
  3. Cover quite closely, so that no steam escapes, for five minutes.
  4. Strain through a cloth wrung out in boiling water, heat up, and serve very hot.
