Coffee
Pour a pint of boiling water on one ounce of coffee, let it boil for five or six minutes, the decant off a cupful two or three times and return it back to the pot again.
Put a little isinglass intp it, and add a large spoonful of boiling water. Boil for five minutes longer, put the pot buy the fire to keep it hot for a few minutes, that the coffee may settle and become clear. Serve it with cream, pounded sugarcandy, or very fine brown sugar.
Foreigners gengeally like thier coffee very strong, Therefore, in that case make only eight dishes from three ounces. If the coffee is not fresh roasted, set it before the fire to dry, or put it into a pan with a little hot butter and shake it well for sometime. Good cream, is preferable to milk in enrichig coffee. So put in also a little vanilla.
Coffee milk is made buy boiling a small spoonful of ground coffee in about a pint of milk for a quarter of an hour, then adding a little isinglass, and setting it by the fire until is is perfectly clear. Sweeten with with a good brown sugar.
If it took this much potch to make a pot of coffee, I'd never make it.
