HOT CHOCOLATE
One and one-half squares of Baker's Chocolate,
Four teaspoonsful of sugar,
Pinch of salt,
One cup of boiling water,
Three cups of milk,
One-half teaspoonful of vanilla.
Melt the chocolate over hot water. Add the sugar, salt and boiling water. When smooth, add the heated milk and cook twenty minutes in double boiler. Then beat with egg beater and flavor. More sugar may be added if desired.
An excellent substitute for whipped cream to serve with hot chocolate is marshmallows. Drop one in each cup of the hot liquid.
Tea—SOUTHERN STYLE
Take one-half teaspoonful of tea to one cup of boiling water. Put the tea in the pot, pour the boiling water upon it and let stand where it will keep hot for five minutes. Then serve. Tea should never be boiled for it makes it bitter.
ICED TEA
Use one scant teaspoonful of tea to one cup of boiling water. Pour boiling water over tea leaves and let stand until milk warm. Then strain and sweeten to taste while tea is still warm, as it requires less sugar. Serve with crushed ice, green mint leaves, and sliced lemon and orange.
