10 MAKE CoFFEE.-I Lave tried nearly every
method OF preparing this Arabian beverage, and
md, alter II, that there is no surer way of hav-
ing coffee clear and strong, than pursuing the
plan here gwen. Beat up an egg--two for a
large pot--and mix it we'll with the coffee till
you have formed il into ball /; fill the pot with
cold water. allowing room enough to put in the
ingredients; let it simmer very gently for an
hour, but do net think of stirring it on any ac.
count Just before it is required, put the pot on
the fire, and warm it well but, as YOU value
he true aroma, take care that it does not boil
Pour 1t off gently, and you will have as pure and
strong an extract Of the Indian berry as YOU can
desire. Use white sugar candy, in powder, in
preference to sugar; cream, if attainablc if
not, boiled milk.-Epicure's Almanac.
