A Good Substitute for Coffee
Take some brown sugar and burn it perfect black, then add hot water till it is reduced to the consistency of syrup, and put it in a bottle ready for use. For six persons, take five tablespoons of the liquid and put it in your coffee pot; then put in the dripper one tablespoonful of ground coffee, and drip the boiling water through the coffee on the syrup, in such a quantity as suits your taste. It is now ready for the table, where it is prepared in the usual manner with milk and sugar. To the above proportions can be added more coffee, if you have it to spare. - The burnt syrup will keep any length of time.
N.B. Care must be taken not to pour the burnt syrup through the dripper.
This really an excellent substitute. If you feel disposed, publish it in your paper for the benefit of economists.
A LADY SUBSCRIBER.
