Boiled Coffee Recipes

Steps:

• Pour coffee grounds of your choice into a pitcher. Pour in water and stir with a spoon. Let mixture steep at room temperature for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Line a fine-mesh strainer with a coffee filter and place over a medium bowl. Slowly pour coffee mixture through the filter. Do not force it through. Discard grounds and rinse out pitcher.
• Pour filtered coffee concentrate back into the clean pitcher. Place in the refrigerator.
• Boil water and sugar together until sugar is completely dissolved. Cool simple syrup and transfer to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• Pour 3 ounces of coffee concentrate into a Mason jar or cup. Top with 3 ounces water. Add desired amount of simple syrup and ice.

Steps:

• Bring all ingredients to a full boil in a large nonreactive saucepan, partially covered, then simmer, tightly covered, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Let stand, covered, off heat until grounds settle, about 2 minutes. Carefully strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a pot.

Steps:

• Use a graniteware (enamel) coffee pot.
• Wash egg; break it into a small bowl, reserving shell, and beat slightly. Add 1/2 cup cold water, the 1 cup ground coffee and the reserved egg shell, crushed. Mix thoroughly. Turn into coffee pot; pour on boiling water, and stir. (I remember the ladies adding the coffee/egg mixture directly to the boiling water.) Optional: The spout of the pot can be stuffed with soft paper towel to prevent escape of the fragrant aroma. Place on front of range and boil 3 minutes. If not boiled, coffee is cloudy. If boiled too long, too much tannic acid is developed. Add remaining 1/2 cup cold water; which perfects clearing. Cold water, which is heavier than hot, sinks to the bottom and carries the grounds with it. After coffee has settled, serve at once.

Steps:

• 1. Rinse the coffee pot or a saucepan that has a tight cover with hot water to heat it Mix the first 5 ingredients in the pot, add the boiling water and stir thoroughly. If using a coffee pot, stuff the spout with soft paper to prevent the escape of the fragrant aroma.
• 2. Over moderate heat, bring slowly to the boiling point. Simmer 3 minutes, then add 1/2 cup cold water to help clearing.
• 3. Pour carefully into cups. If keeping warm, use low heat to keep the coffee from boiling.
