Boiled Coffee
Ingredients:
1 cup coffee
1 cup cold water
1 egg
6 cups boiling water
Directions:
Scald granite−ware coffee−pot. Wash egg, break, and beat slightly. Dilute with one−half the
cold water, add crushed shell, and mix with coffee. Turn into coffee−pot, pour on boiling
water,
and stir thoroughly. Place on front of range, and boil three minutes. If not boiled, coffee is
cloudy; if boiled too long, too much tannic acid is developed. The spout of pot should be
covered or stuffed with soft paper to prevent escape of fragrant aroma. Stir and pour some in a
cup to be sure that spout is free from grounds. Return to coffee−pot and repeat. Add
remaining
cold water, which perfects clearing. Cold water being heavier than hot water sinks to the
bottom, carrying grounds with it. Place on back of range for ten minutes, where coffee will
not
boil. Serve at once. If any is left over, drain from grounds, and reserve for making of jelly or
other dessert.

Egg−shells may be saved and used for clearing coffee. Three egg−shells are sufficient to

clearing where one cup of ground coffee is used. The shell performs no office in clearing

and
cut in inch pieces, is used for same purpose.

Coffee made with an egg has a rich flavor which egg alone can give. Where strict economy
is
necessary, if great care is taken, egg may be omitted. Coffee so made should be served from
range, as much motion causes it to become roiled.

Tin is an undesirable material for a coffee−pot, as tannic acid acts on such metal and is apt
to
form a poisonous compound.
