CAFÉ CON LECHE

Set the drip coffee-pot where it will keep hot. Put a cupful of ground coffee into the strainer and pour two tablespoonfuls of boiling water in the top; in five minutes, pour in a little more water, adding a little at a time until you have used four cupfuls, but never pour in water a second time until the grounds have ceased to bubble. In serving, fill the cup only half full of coffee and add the rest in boiling milk. On top put a tablespoonful of hot cream.
