HOT DRINKS. --··- ---------·- -----------

SPICED RUM, HOT. 105. Dissolve a cube of sugar in a hot-water gla~ three-quarters full of boiling water, add enough Jamaica rum to nearly fill the glass, put in some assorted spices and serve. N. B.- A small piece of butter may be added to this drink with the customer's permi:ssion.

TAM O'SHANTER. 106. This drink is made the ,;arne as Hot Whiskey Punch, with old !slay whiskey substituted for Lourbon whiskey. (&e Rec:pe J:vo. 110.)

TEA PUNCH, HOT. 107. Make a quart ofgood,well-steeped tea. Then take a large punch bowl and put in three-quarters of a pint of cognac, one-quarter of a pint of Jamaica rum, the fresh juice of 1our lemons and six heaping tablespoonfuls of sugar. Set this mix– ture on fire and stir rapidly, adding the hot tea slowly the while. A nice way of flavoring this drink is to mash tb.e rinds of the lemons into the sugar with a muddler before placing the sugar in the bowl. When the sugar has absorbed all the moisture from the rinds, throw them away. 108. To make this celebrated be\·erage, a batter must first be prepared in the fol– lowing manner. Procure any number of eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. Beat the whites until stiff and the yolks until thin; then pour both to– gether into a large bowl and mix with enough sugar to make a thick paste. Your batter is now ready, so when you wish to make a Tom and Jerry, rinse out a mug, cup or glass with boiling water (this is done to heat it), place a heaping teaspoon– ful of the batter into the hot mug (mugs are generally used to serve this drink), add a jigger of cognac and a. dash of St. Croix rum, 1111 the glass with hot milk (some use hot water), and stir until the batter is all dissoh•ed, grate nutmeg on top and !!erve. N. B.-A half teaspoonful of carbonate of soda stirred into Tom and Jerry batter will keep it sweet and prevent the sugar from settling to the bottom of the bowl. TOM AND JERRY.

WATER, HOT. 109. Place a spoon in a hot-water glass full of boiling water and serve. Dys– peptics claim this as a great relief for their affiiction.
