Original Text

Coffee. No. 2. Lord Aberdare's Way. (Mrs. Brandreth. 1880.)
A handful of pale roasted coffee beans should be allowed for each cup of coffee required; half Mysore, half Mocha is best.
Beat the coffee beans on a plate before the fire, and then grind them while hot. Put them in a pan kept on purpose and used for nothing else, with the white and shell of egg. Stir all up with a spoon. Pour on boiling water, according to the quantity required, and put it on a quick fire till it boils up for a moment. Strain it into a hot jug through a table napkin (single fold). This napkin must immediately be washed out in plain warm water and be used for no other purpose but to strain coffee.
Another similar recipe says use Mocha coffee alone. Grind each day only what is required. The beaten whites of 3 eggs, and their shells, are added when 6 ozs. of coffee in 1 quart of water are boiling. Strain and heat up.
