Never (!) turkish coffee without sugar. But with sugar it's delicious... -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Graywolf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Freitag, 21. Januar 2005 00:43 An: [email protected] Betreff: Re: OT-Coffee Theory
Oh no! Cowboy Coffee is boiled, and boiled, and boiled, and boiled some more. The only time they thought it was too strong was when the bottom was eaten out of the pot (GRIN). Think over cooked Turkish coffee without sugar. Here is how to make good Campfire Coffee: One #10 tin can (of course you can use something else but this is traditional) 3/4 full of cold water (cold is very important) Pinch of salt (neutralizes some of the bitterness) 3 hand fulls of course ground coffee --adjust to taste from experience (let set on top of the water, DO NOT STIR) 3 egg shells (optional, but removes a lot of the kerosene that makes coffee so bitter) Put on fire until it just starts to boil (when the grounds sink) Remove from fire Pour 1/2 cup of cold water over the top to settle grounds. Pour into cups carefully so as not to raise the grounds from the bottom of the can. graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- Doug Franklin wrote: > On Thu, 20 Jan 2005 10:41:17 -0500, Graywolf wrote: > > >>Actually I think the best coffee is campfire (boiled) coffee if it is >>done right.
