cowboy coffee

Boiled trail brew

Cowboy coffee is coffee brewed by boiling grounds directly in water, then letting them settle before drinking—the method used on cattle drives and in camps without proper equipment.

The result is strong and often bitter, with sediment at the bottom of the cup: We made cowboy coffee over the fire.
