Boiling Coffee.

A large tea-cupful of unground coffee will be sufficient for six

persons, unless they take it very strong, (which is injurious to

health,) grind it, and put it in the tin pot, with half a tea-cup of

cold water, and the white of half an egg; shake it till it is mixed,

then pour boiling water on it, and let it stand close to the fire, and

just come to a boil, stir it, and do not let it boil over, let it keep

at boiling heat five or ten minutes; then take it from the fire, and put

in half a tea-cup of water to settle it, let it stand five minutes, and

pour it off,--if you wish it particularly nice, strain it through a thin

linen cloth, kept for the purpose, keep it by the fire till it goes to

table. If you boil coffee too long, the aromatic flavor flies off.
