How to Make Coffee Like a Civil War Soldier
For soldiers at war, there aren’t too many creature comforts at hand. Living conditions may be Spartan, food barely edible, and daily routines either terribly boring, or thoroughly terrifying, depending on proximity to the heat of combat. That makes the morale-boosters that are available all the more appreciated, and numbered in the top tier of these is surely a hot cup of coffee.
That’s as true in the modern day as it was all the way back in the days of the Civil War, though the preparation of said joe has changed since then. Before Folgers started mass-roasting coffee in the mid-to-late 19th century, folks had to roast coffee themselves prior to consuming it. Out in the field, soldiers would receive the beans in their green, raw form, roast them over the heat of a campfire, then grind and brew right away. (READ MORE)
During the Civil War, Union soldiers relished “the coffee call.” Confederates appreciated hot joe as well, but because they were shorter on supplies, often had to make do with poor substitutes like chicory, dandelion root, and sweet potato “coffee.”
