Until then, I need coffee or tea in the morning. We're out of tea. So I turned to the Settlement Cookbook to make boiled coffee. It's not bad. I'd do it this way again.
1 cup ground coffee
6 tablespoons egg water
5 cups boiling water
1 cup cold water
Scald coffee pot (I used a saucepan) mix coffee with egg water, place in pot add boiling water and let boil 3 minutes. Add cold water and let stand where it will be kept hot but not boil.
Egg Water
1 egg
1 cup cold water
pinch salt
Wash and break egg in large cup or pint jar, beating constantly while pouring on 1 cup cold water. Cover and place in icebox for future use. For each cup of coffee use 1 Tbs egg water.

You know you could have just put the filter with some ground coffee on top of your cup and poured hot water through it to make your coffee.
I thought about that but wasn't sure if it would "brew" or just be hot strained coffee! :)
Crystal - I make my coffee one cup at a time with a cheap little plastic melita - best cuppa in the world - I can't stand the thought of coffee-maker coffee ever again.
Why the egg water? What's the purpose of that? I'm really curious.
valk, supposedly egg water helps "clear" the coffee. I don't really know what that means. But I do know the water wasn't filled with floating grounds like I expected, so maybe it helps keep the grounds at the bottom of the pot?
I'm sorry, but all I could think by the time I saw the egg water was "gag me with a spoon." I really really have to like the coffee. I love coffee and I am really particular. Typically chocolate is involved. lol But thanks for the tip. :D
