A historical recipe

Hand-Book of Practical Cookery, for Ladies and Professional Cooks Containing the Whole Science and Art of Preparing Human Food, by Pierre Blot (1884). Project Gutenberg eBook #35646.

From an old book: a historical recipe, not current advice. Its methods, additives and storage may be unsafe by today's standards.

Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. a pint of milk
  2. one ounce of chocolate

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Put in a tin pan a pint of milk, with one ounce of chocolate, and two of sugar;
  2. set it over the fire, but do not allow it to boil;
  3. stir well with a wooden spoon during the process, and when the whole is well mixed, serve warm in cups.
  4. It is an excellent and wholesome drink in the evening.
  5. The same with Coffee or Tea.--Proceed as above in every particular, except that you put in the pan a small cup of coffee or tea instead of chocolate, and a little more sugar.
