For 5 people, take 2 cups of black coffee (see recipe) and 3 cups of sweet milk. Put in a saucepan and allow to come to a boil. Watch carefully to prevent boiling over. Serve instantly in large cups with sugar.

CREOLE COFFEE: It is necessary to have a French Drip Coffee Pot and good New Orleans coffee:

Place 1 1/2 cups of dry coffee in the top (in the dripper). Have ready some boiling water and pour every 3 to 4 minutes a tablespoonful at a time, on the coffee grounds, until you have about a pint of coffee. Never allow this coffee to boil at any time. Always heat it in a double boiler.

In some French restaurants in New Orleans to every pint of hot coffee is added 2 tablespoons of dry cocoa or chocolate, carefully dissolved. This is a secret that is usually carefully guarded and never given out willingly.
