How to Make Cowboy Coffee

Maybe you roll into Starbucks everyday for your "venti triple shot mocha latte," but truthfully you haven't lived until you have had real live cowboy coffee. Here is a recipe for cowboy coffee that will make you clear your throat and have hair growing on your chest. Does this Spark an idea?

Things You'll Need

  • Large saucepan
  • 4 quarts water
  • 1 1/2 cups ground coffee
  • 1 eggshell
  • 1/2 cup ice cold water

Instructions

    • 1

      Boil the 4 quarts of water in your large saucepan over a high flame.

    • 2

      Add the coffee grounds and egg shell once water has come completely to a boil.

    • 3

      Return the water to a boil. The moment you add the coffee grounds the water will settle down and the temperature will drop. It will take approximately another three minutes to bring the water to a boil.

    • 4

      Remove the coffee from the heat source and let it stand for three to four minutes.

    • 5

      Pour in the half cup of ice-cold water. This will not only reduce the scalding hot temperature of your coffee, but it will also send the coffee grounds to the bottom of the pan. Serve with a ladle and enjoy.

Tips & Warnings

  • To make your cowboy coffee recipe a tad bit smoother, strain the coffee before pouring and serving. Although, if you do that, you might not grow quite as much hair on your chest.

    We make only cowboy coffee when we go camping. We use the egg and eggshell method. It's delicious and smells better than regular perked coffee.

    Some camp coffee recipes call for the egg or eggshells, which some claim helps remove bitterness and acts as filtration. If you prefer a stronger brew and do not have eggs to work with you can modify this technique to eliminate the egg and just use the cold water to help settle the grounds.
