½ cup cracked cocoa
3 pints boiling water
Boil cracked cocoa and water two hours. Strain, and serve with milk and sugar. If cocoa is pounded in a mortar and soaked over night in three pints water, it will require but one hour’s boiling.
Breakfast Cocoa
1½ tablespoons prepared cocoa
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups boiling water
2 cups milk
Few grains salt
Scald milk. Mix cocoa, sugar, and salt, dilute with one-half cup boiling water to make smooth paste, add remaining water, and boil one minute; turn into scalded milk and beat two minutes, using Dover egg-beater, when froth will form, preventing scum, which is so unsightly; this is known as milling.
