COFFEE,

BATAVIA

STYLE

(As

made

by

the

Dutch

coffee

planters

in

Java)

The

coffee

is

ground

fine

and

packed

tightly

in

the

top

of

a

French

pot.

The

required

amount

of

cold

water

is

poured

over

it

and

allowed

to

drip

through.

It

requires

about

five

hours

for the

process

if

the

coffee

is

packed

as

tightly

as

it

should

be.

The

coffee

is

then

heated

and

from

three

to

four

times

its

volume

of

hot

milk

added.

TURKISH

COFFEE

A

heaping

dessertspoonful

of

powdered

coffee

is

added

to

one

small

cupful

of

cold

water.

This

is

brought

to

a

boil,

and

the

coffee

and

grounds

are

poured

into

the

cup.

Turkish

coffee

is

drunk

grounds

and

all,

without

cream

or

sugar.

KAFFEE

"

KULTUR

"

It

is

the

unanimous

observation

of

civilized

travelers

that

good

coffee

is

unobtainable

in

Germany.

The

foremost

scientist

of

that

race,

the

famous

Baron

von

Liebig,

nearly

a

hundred

years

ago

wrote

an

exhaustive

treatise

on

the

subject

of

coffee

and

coffee-making,

and

devised

the

con-

coction

which

among

Germans

now

passes

for

coffee.

Was

it

not

given

them

by

authority

?

This

is

von

Liebig's

recipe

Put

three-quarters

of

the

amount

of

coffee

to

be

used

on

the

fire

in

boiling

water;

boil

from

ten

to

fifteen

minutes.

Then

put

in

the

remaining

one-quarter

of

the

coffee,

cover

and

let

it

stand

for

five

minutes.

Stir,

strain

and

serve

with

an

equal

amount

of

milk.

EXCELLENT

COFFEE

Use

a

drip

pot,

one

having

a

cloth

bag.

Wet

the

bag,

place

the

coffee

in

this,

and

pack

as

tightly

as

possible

around

the

sides

and

bottom.

Pour

in

slowly

three

cupf

uls

of

boil-
