IMPERIAL COFFEE. If intended for two persons, take four rounding teaspoonfuls of coffee tied up in a piece of Swiss muslin (leave plenty of room for expansion) ; pour on two cups of bubbling, boiling water, cover close and set back on the range about ten minutes. Break one egg in a large coffee cup, give it a good whip with an egg-beater, divide it half in each cup, add the usual quantity of sugar, pour on the hot coffee, add warm milk and one spoonful of cream
Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
