Crush the nibs with a rolling pin, then place them in a saucepan with the cold water, and bring to the boil. Draw to the side of the fire, and simmer gently about 5 hours, occasionally skimming off the oil which rises to the top. Strain, add about an equal quantity of milk, re-heat and serve. Coffee in a Jug. 1 pint boiling water, 2 heaped tablespoonfuls ground coffee. Scald a jug, which has a lid, with hot water, then put in the coffee, and pour the boiling water on to it. Put on the lid, and let the coffee draw 5 minutes close to the fire. Clear it, by pouring a little into a cup and pouring it back 3 times, or by adding a small teacupful of cold water. Then let the jug stand 10 minutes in a hot place, where it will almost simmer. Serve with boiling milk, and sugar to taste. Coffee in a Coffee-Pot. Scald the coffee-pot with hot water. Put the coffee in above the strainer, pour the boiling water over it very gradually, and while it is running through, place the pot where it will keep very hot. As soon as all the water has run through, serve with boiling milk, and sugar to taste. Use 1 heaped teaspoonful for each person and 1 extra. Coddled Eggs. Time—5 minutes. Eggs should not be _boiled_, because this process hardens the outside quickly, before cooking the yolk thoroughly. Carefully put the egg into boiling water with a spoon, place the saucepan near the fire, where the water cannot boil, but is near to boiling point. Take it out after 5 minutes. _Hard-boiled Eggs_: Place the eggs in a saucepan in cold water, bring to the boil and let them cook 12 minutes; then put them immediately into a basin of cold water to keep them a good colour. Fried Eggs. Time—10 minutes. 2 eggs, 1 oz. butter; pepper and salt to taste. Make the butter hot in a frying-pan, break the eggs into a cup and slip them carefully in without breaking the yolks, and fry 3 or 4 minutes. Take them out with a slice and serve hot. Poached Eggs. Time—10 minutes. 1 egg, buttered toast, salt, ½ pint water, 1 teaspoonful vinegar. Put the water with salt and vinegar into a shallow saucepan where the water cannot boil, but is near to boiling point. Break the egg into a cup, and slip it gently into the water. Let it remain till the white is set. Take it out carefully with a small slice, trim the edges, and place it on a piece of buttered toast, with pepper and salt to taste. Savoury Eggs. Time—½ hour. 4 eggs, 1 oz. butter, ½ teaspoonful anchovy sauce, a little cayenne pepper. Boil the eggs hard, when cold shell them, halve them, take out the yolks. Beat the yolks up smooth with the butter, anchovy sauce and pinch of cayenne. Fill the white halves with this paste, cut off the ends, stand each half on a round of bread-and-butter, and ornament with cress or parsley.
