  1. Put two ounces of unground coffee, slightly roasted, into a clean stewpan.
  2. Set the stewpan upon a moderate fire, slowly warming the coffee through, shaking the stewpan round every half-minute.
  3. When very hot, which you will perceive by the smoke arising from it, pour over half a pint of boiling water.
  4. Cover the stewpan well, and let it infuse by the side of the fire for fifteen minutes.
  5. Then add half a pint of boiling-hot milk.
  6. Pass the coffee through a small fine sieve into the coffee-pot or jug.
  7. Serve with white sugar-candy or crystallized sugar.
  8. If by neglect you let the coffee get black, or the least burnt, do not attempt to make use of it; it should only be sufficiently charred to break easily in a mortar if required.
Original Text
40. White Coffee, a new style.—Put two ounces of unground coffee, slightly roasted, into a clean stewpan, which set upon a moderate fire, slowly warming the coffee through, shaking the stewpan round every half-minute; when very hot, which you will perceive by the smoke arising from it, pour over half a pint of boiling water, cover the stewpan well, and let it infuse by the side of the fire for fifteen minutes, then add half a pint of boiling-hot milk, pass the coffee through a small fine sieve into the coffee-pot or jug, and serve with white sugar-candy or crystallized sugar; it is, as you will perceive, a great novelty, and an agreeable change; but if by neglect you let the coffee get black, or the least burnt, do not attempt to make use of it; it should only be sufficiently charred to break easily in a mortar if required.
