Cowboy Coffee

On one of the forums I frequent, I found this recipe that someone posted.  The post is quoted in its entirety below the *s.  I'll have to give it a try sometime.

I drink a couple of cups a week... usually black. But when camping we just throw the grounds in the water, boil and settle the grounds with cold water. It's horrible. Here's the recipe!

Cowboy coffee isn't known for tasting good, because many people make it using this recipe. If you want to taste truly awful coffee, just follow these steps:

1. Disregard the coffee-to-water ratio guidelines, because the coffee won’t be good enough for the ratio to matter. Just add some grounds to a pot and fill it with water.
2. Place the pot on the fire and bring the water to boil. When done correctly, the grounds will float to the top, so most of them aren’t being brewed, and the pot will boil over.
3. After burning your hand while trying to adjust the pot so that it doesn’t boil over again, let the “coffee” sit for a few more minutes.
4. Remove the pot from the fire, and sprinkle a handful of cold water into it. Not only will the cold water help the grounds settle on the bottom, but it will also give the appearance that you know what you’re doing. Perhaps you’ll recover some of the dignity you lost in Step 3.
5. Serve the coffee. There are two strategies for this step. You might pour your cup first, so you have as few grounds as possible in your mug. Alternatively, you can save yours till last, hoping that the coffee will be gone by the time you get to your cup.
