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. In making chocolate allow a half ounce of chocolate to every half pint of water or milk.
  2. This applies also to the individual cakes that come, to use one to a cup, or a half tablespoon of grated chocolate to a cup.
  3. It should be put into the hot liquid, brought to the boiling point, and sweetened with two or three teaspoons of sugar according to taste.
  4. Whipped cream may be added to make the chocolate richer.
  5. In making cocoa allow two tablespoons of cocoa to one quart of milk.
  6. Mix the cocoa smooth with a little boiling water, then add it to the hot milk with a half cup of sugar.
  7. Boil up once, strain, and serve.
  8. If the cocoa is for children and not wanted quite as rich, it may be made of half milk and half water.
  9. Any of the foregoing four drinks may be served iced.
