- When we speak of beverages, the term includes such daily drinks as tea, coffee, and cocoa, also the delicious fruit punches, which are easy to make and, in hot weather, as cooling to the blood as they are palatable.
- In preparing all hot beverages, freshly boiled water is a necessity, for after water has boiled five minutes it loses a sort of sparkle that makes all the difference between a poor cup of tea and one that is stimulating and fragrant.
- As to coffee, there are various methods of making it, but in boiled coffee, which is the common everyday kind, we have probably the quickest and most economical method.
- To have coffee at its best, the water and coffee should be carefully measured, carefully watched and timed in the cooking, and the coffeepot kept scrupulously clean.
- Don't buy poor, cheap tea and coffee.
- Most fruit punches have one base a sirup of equal quantities of water and sugar.
- This is a much better way to prepare such drinks than by sweetening them with granulated sugar, which can only be half dissolved in cold water.
- After the sirup for such a beverage is prepared, its flavoring is limited only by the variety of fruit on hand.
- The everhandy lemon gives it necessary tartness, and to add to its deliciousness anything may be added, even a leftover of sirup from canned fruit or a cup of cold tea.
- Coffee, if possible, should always be served with cream.
- To keep cream sweet lieat it to almost boiling point, put it in a glass bottle or earthen vessel, cover, and set aside to cool.
- Cream thus treated will keep sweet and fresh several days, in moderate weather, and over the second day in warm weather.
