Beet Coffee

Oven, in the book's wordsA moderate oven

Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a moderate oven”. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Wash the beets thoroughly without scraping them.

  2. Slice the beets and brown them in a 350°F (175°C) oven, being careful not to burn.

  3. Once browned, break the beets into small pieces.

  4. Steep the pieces in hot water like ordinary coffee.

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
