28. Corn Coffee, for the Sick, or for a Nauseous Stomach.
Take nice, sweet, dry corn (I do not mean sweet corn, but nicely dried field corn); be careful in browning it, not to burn it, as it injures its flavor, as much as it does to over-brown coffee for general use—makes it bitter rather than pleasant. To 1 coffee cup of this ground, as coffee, stir in 1 beaten egg; put
into the coffee pot, "and pour on boiling water, 1 pt or a little more; steep and season also as coffee, with cream and sugar. It is nourishing and sufficiently stimulating to allay a nauseous stomach before vomiting has taken place. See also browned corn meal gruel for weak stomachs.
