COFFEE, TEA, CHOCOLATE, ETC.
TO MAKE CHOCOLATE
Scrape the best chocolate; allow for each square, or large spoonful of ground
chocolate, half a pint of milk or milk and water; let it boil a few moments,
then put it on the back part of the stove, and it is ready when wanted.
TO MAKE CHOCOLATE ANOTHER WAY
Scrape or grate the chocolate, take a heaping tablespoonful for each cup to be
served; allow half a pint of milk or milk and water to each heaping spoonful of
chocolate. Make the milk hot, rub the chocolate to a smooth paste with the cold
milk, then stir it in the boiling milk. Let it boil up once; cover it and set it
back in a place where it will keep warm. It is now ready to serve. Toasted
biscuit or rolls should be served with it. Sweeten the chocolate unless you use
the prepared chocolate.
TEA--GREEN AND BLACK
Scald your tea-pot always before putting in the tea; throw out the scalding
water and allow a teaspoonful of tea to each person expected to drink it; turn
on half a pint of boiling water at first, and let it steep--green tea requires
about five minutes, black tea ten minutes. After this, pour on more boiling
water, according to the number of persons. Mixed black and green tea is
considered a more healthful drink than green tea alone.
