TEA, COFFEE, AND COCOA,

Cafe au Lait. Make some strong clear coffee. Pour it into the cup with an equal quantity of boiling milk, and sweeten to taste.

Cafe Noir.

Chocolate.

Spanish Recipe.

Break a piece of a cake of chocolate and let it soak eight hours in milk ; then gradually warm it up and mill it all with a notched stick passed through a hole in the lid of the chocolatiere ; then pour on a little boiling water, add some sugar, and pour in some boiling milk with one hand slowly and beat it to a froth with the other.
