Based on a recipe from, A Columbian Autograph Souvenir Cookery Book, for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago. The instructions may sound strange, but the result is superior, crystal clear, and very fragrant. Read more It would probably be superb in a camp-style coffee pot. See less

Got to be good. As prized as eggs and coffee was in that time, this person would have been charged with something for publishing a recipe on how to waste a egg and good coffee. \0
