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.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Put in a saucepan six ounces of sugar and one-quarter of a pound of pulverized cocoa, and one quart of water.
  2. Boil the mixture until it is like a thick syrup;
  3. then remove from the fire and stir occasionally until it is cool, when three table-spoonfuls of vanilla extract may be added.
  4. This syrup may be kept in a cool place for several weeks and used as needed.
  5. Serve the cocoa in glasses with shaved ice and whipped cream.
