A Delightful Way of Making Coffee

A Delightful Way of Making Coffee.

There is an art in making coffee, and here is an old French recipe which is really delicious. Put into an open saucepan the amount of water needed. Let it come slowly to the boil, lower the flame slightly, and stir in the requisite quantity of fresh ground coffee. Stir first to the left and then to the right with a wooden spoon. As the liquid boils up with a rich brown froth, remove the pan from the stove for a minute and then replace it. Repeat this operation three times, and the coffee is ready. Pour it into a warmed pot, adding a pinch of salt, and a dash of cold water to settle the grounds. It will be found hard to improve this simple method for making deliciously fragrant coffee.
