  2. 1 cup of hot water

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • 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

  4. if you boil it at all, never boil over 3 minutes;;
  5. set aside for a few minutes to settle.
  6. Serve hot and always put the cream in the cup first.
  7. The amount to use varies according to the taste and the quality of coffee used, but the general rule is to allow 1 heaping teaspoonful to 1 cup of hot water.
