Four things are essential.
Chase & Sanborn's SEAL BRAND Coffee Freshly boiling water Clean coffee pot Exact measurements.
It is a splendid plan to have two coffee pots - a granite one for the making of coffee and a heavy china or earthenware pot for the serving of coffee.
As soon as the coffee is made, strain into the earthenware pot which has been scalded out with boiling water. Then empty the grounds from the granite coffee pot and fill it with water until time to wash it. This will keep the coffee pot clean and sweet and protect the fine flavor of the coffee.
Proportion: 1 rounded tablespoonful of Chase & Sanborn's SEAL BRAND Ground coffee to 1 full cup of water. (Note: 1 full cup of water equals 1 1/2 cups filled to average depth and with space allowed for adding cream).
Place coffee in pot and add boiling water. Boil coffee and water together for five minutes, not longer. Pour out one cup to clear spout and pour back into pot. Now pour into pot a large tablespoonful of cold water and let stand for three minutes. This will force the grounds to the bottom.
Can be secured by the use of the white of an egg dissolved in water. The white of one egg will suffice for six or seven brewings. Save the yolk for other use. Do not throw the shell away, for the crushed shell in two tablespoonfuls of cold water put into the pot after the brewing will clear it perfectly.
The white of egg should be dissolved in a pint of cold water and kept in the ice box. Use two tablespoonfuls of this mixture to clear each brewing, stirring it up each time before using. This should be added after the boiling stops. Then pour out one cup-ful (to clear the spout) pouring this back into the pot at once. Then let stand for a minute or two and serve immediately with good cream.
This rule applies to the making of coffee in the ordinary coffee pot (which should be porcelain or granite lined without filtering attachment of any kind). If you prefer a patent pot follow the rule accompan1/2ng it.
1 cupful finely ground Chase & Sanborn's SEAL BRAND Coffee.
5 cupfuls boiling water.
2 tablespoonfuls cold water.
Proceed as given in the rule for making hot coffee. The above you will note will make a much stronger liquor. This is to allow for dilution by the melted ice. As soon as the coffee is clear fill glasses three-fourths full with cracked ice and after putting a spoon in the glass to prevent breakage, pour the hot coffee over the ice. Serve black or with cream and sugar, as may be per-ferred.
