COWBOY COFFEE
It’s basically three steps:
• Boil your water and remove from the fire.
• Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of perk-ground coffee per cup of water.
• Let it steep for 4 to 5 minutes before drinking.
The grounds usually settle by then.
If they don’t add a splash of cold water, which sinks and carries most of the grounds to the bottom of the pot.
A few grounds remain in the bottom of each cup. But; that's the nature of any unfiltered coffee.
Keep the pot close to the edge of the fire to keep it warm enough to drink. Don't put directly over the fire to cause scorching.
So; brew up a pot, pardner' and enjoy the sunrise.
