HOW TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE.
Use LION COFFEE, because to get beat remits you must use the best coffee.
Grind your LION COFFEE rather fine. Use “a tablespoouful to each cup, and one
extra for the pot." First mix it with a little cold water, enough to make a thick paste, and
add white of an egg (if egg is to be used as a settler), then follow one of the following rules:
1st. WITH BOILING WATER. Add boiling water, and let it boil
THREE MINUTES ONLY. Add a little cold water and set aside five
minutes to settle. Serve promptly.
2d. WITH COLD WATER. Add your cold water to the paste and
bring It to a boil. Then set aside, add a little cold water, and in live
minutes it’s ready to serve.
2 (Don’t boll it too long.
• Don’t let it stand more than ten minutes before serving-
DONI’S (Don’t use water that has been boiled before.
TWO WAYS TO SETTLE COFFEE.
1st. With Eggs. Use part of the white of an egg, mixing it with the ground LION
COFFEE before boiling.
2d. With Cold Water instead of eggs. After boiling add a dash of cold water, and set
aside for eight or ten minutes, then serve through a strainer.
Insist on getting a package of genuine LION COFFEE,
prepare it according to this recipe and you will only use
LION COFFEE in future. (Sold only iu 1 lb. sealed packages.)
