A historical recipe

Aunt Daisy's Cookery Book 1953, by Aunt Daisy (Maud Basham) (1953).

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

Ingredients 3 ingredients

  1. 1 cup sugar
  2. 2 cups water
  3. 4 tablespoons cocoa

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. Make syrup of 1 cup sugar, \y 2 cups water, and 4 tablespoons cocoa.
  2. Boil 5 minutes and keep in a cool place.
  3. Add 2 or 3 teaspoons to a glass of milk— encourages children to drink milk.
  4. Drink through a straw.
