Alexis Soyer's CAFE AU LAIT



Soyer's Cafe an Lait

One cup of best coffee [beans] freshly roasted but unground, two cups of boiling water, one quart of boiling milk. Put the coffee in a clean dry kettle or tin pail fit on a close top and set in a sauce pan of boiling water. Shake it every few minutes without opening it until you judge that the coffee grains must be heated through. If on lifting the cover you find that the contents of the inner vessel are very hot and smoking pour over them the boiling water directly from the tea kettle. Cover the inner vessel closely and set on the side of the range where it will keep very hot without boiling for twenty minutes. Then add the boiling milk let all stand together for five minutes more and strain through thin muslin into the coffee urn. Use loaf sugar for sweetening.
