Filtered Coffee

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Make a sack from fine flannel, larger than the top of the coffee pot.

  2. Stitch the side seam, leaving an opening at the top.

  3. Insert a stiff wire into a hem at the top of the sack and secure the ends.

  4. Fill the sack with coffee and lower it into the coffee pot.

  5. Pour boiling water over the coffee, close the lid tightly, and let it simmer for 15 to 30 minutes.

  6. To serve, lift the sack off the nose of the pot without removing it completely.
