Coffee in a Jug.
1 pint boiling water, 2 heaped tablespoonfuls ground coffee.
Scald a jug, which has a lid, with hot water, then put in the coffee, and pour the boiling water on to it. Put on the lid, and let the coffee draw 5 minutes close to the fire. Clear it, by pouring a little into a cup and pouring it back 3 times, or by adding a small teacupful of cold water. Then let the jug stand 10 minutes in a hot place, where it will almost simmer. Serve with boiling milk, and sugar to taste.
