BREAKFAST COCOA
(Sufficient to Serve Six)
2 c. milk
2 Tb. cocoa
2 Tb. sugar
Few grains of salt
2 c. boiling water
Scald the milk. Mix the cocoa, sugar, and salt, form into a paste by stirring in a little of the boiling
water, and then add the scalded milk and the remainder of the water. Beat with an egg beater until a
froth is formed and serve at once.
RICH COCOA.--There are times when it is desired to serve rich cocoa, as, for instance, with a
lunch that is not high in food value or with wafers at afternoon social affairs. The accompanying
recipe explains how to make cocoa that will be suitable for such occasions.
RICH COCOA
(Sufficient to Serve Six)
4 c. milk
3 Tb. cocoa
1/4 c. sugar
Few grains of salt
1/2 c. boiling water
Scald the milk. Stir the cocoa, sugar, and salt into a smooth paste with the boiling water and boil for 2
or 3 minutes. Add the scalded milk, mill, and serve.
CREAMY COCOA.--When there is not very much milk on hand and still a rich, creamy cocoa is
desired, the accompanying recipe should be tried. As will be noted, flour is used in addition to the usual
ingredients. While this is accountable for the creamy consistency of the cocoa, it should be remembered
that the cocoa must be cooked long enough to remove the raw, starchy flavor of the flour.
