Method

  1. A mixture of milk and soda water in equal parts is a favourite beverage with many people.
  2. The soda water has the effect of delaying the curdling process, and so the milk becomes more digestible.
  3. The soda water should be added to the milk and not vice versa.
  4. The right proportion for making milk and soda is 1 part of soda water to 2 of milk.
  5. Lime water can be used in its place in the same proportion and 15 grains of bicarbonate of soda diluted with water is the equivalent to a third of a tumblerful of soda water.
  6. But it should be clearly understood that inorganic mineral substances such as are contained in soda water and lime water are not capable of assimilation by the human body and have to be excreted, or retained at the peril of health.
