Vegetarian cooking
of boiling water to the contents of the frying pan, cover with a
plate, and let cook for an hour. This is not really a rich food, but
one easy of digestion and of great use to the sleepless. Those who
want to rise early must make their last meal a light one. Those
troubled with dreams or restlessness must do the same. Very little
fluid should be taken last thing at night, as it causes persons to
rise frequently to empty the bladder.
V.
SUPPERS.
Hygienic livers will never take such meals, even if tea has been
early, or hard work done since the tea meal was taken. No solid food
must be eaten. The most that should be consumed is a cup of Brunak,
cocoa, lemon water, bran tea, or even boiled water, but never milk. In
winter warm drinks may be taken, and in summer cool ones.
VI.
DRINKS.
LEMON WATER is made by squeezing the juice of 1/2 a lemon into a
tumbler of warm or cold water; to this is added just enough sugar to
take off the tartness. Some peel the lemon first, then cut in slices,
pour boiling water over the slices, grate in a little of the peel, and
add sugar to taste.
BRUNAK.--Take 1-1/2 to 2 teaspoonfuls of Brunak for each large cupful
required, mix it with sufficient water, and boil for 2 or 3 minutes to
get the full flavour, then strain and add hot milk and sugar to taste.
Can be made in a coffee-pot, teapot, or jug if preferred. May be stood
on the hob to draw; or it you have any left over from a previous meal
it can be boiled up again and served as freshly made.
COCOA.--This is best made by putting a teaspoonful of any good cocoa,
such as Allinson's, into a breakfast cup; boiling water is then poured
upon this and stirred; 1 tablespoonful of milk must be added to each
cup, and 1 teaspoonful of sugar where sugar is used, or 1 or 2
teaspoonfuls of condensed milk and no extra sugar.
BRAN TEA.--Mix 1 oz. of bran with 1 pint of water; boil for 1/2 an
hour, strain, and drink cool. A little orange or lemon juice is a
pleasant addition. When this is used as a drink at breakfast or tea, a
little milk and sugar may be added to it.
CHOCOLATE.--Allow 1 bar of Allinson's chocolate for each cup of fluid.
Break the chocolate in bits, put into a saucepan, add a little boiling
water, put on the fire, and stir until the chocolate is dissolved,
then add rest of fluid and boil 2 or 3 minutes. Pour the chocolate
into cups, and add about 1 tablespoonful of fresh milk to each cup,
but no extra sugar. The milk may be added to the chocolate whilst
boiling, if desired.
