Ingredients
- three pints of rich sweet milk into a coffee-pot
- one teaspoonful of leaves to every pint is about the allowance
Directions
Put three pints of rich sweet milk into a coffee-pot a,nd let it boil. When it is boiling put in a teacupful of ground coffee, and boil it five minutes. Strain and serve it.
Put the table teapot near the fire till it is quite hot. Put in the dry tea leaves, and replace the pot, closely covered, near the fire for five minutes. Fill the teapot full of boiling water, and let it stand on the table at least three minutes be- fore pouring out. One teaspoonful of leaves to every pint is about the allowance. In hot summer strong black tea, to which lemon juice and sugar have been added, will be found very refreshing. The tea may be made in the morning, and placed on ice about an hour before using, adding the lemon jniee and sugar at table. If ice is left in the tea it weakens it too much.
