=EGG PREPARATIONS=. These consist of
Albumin water (diluted white of egg), flavored with fruit juice;
Egg lemonade; egg orangeade;
Egg with meat broth;
Egg with coffee and milk;
Chocolate eggnog.
Often the white of egg, dissolved in water or milk, is given when the
yolk cannot be digested, because of the amount of fat which the yolk
contains.
Where one is inclined to billiousness, the egg is better digested if
beaten in wine.
The albuminous or egg drinks are best prepared cold.

=Eggnog.= To make eggnog, separate the white and the yolk, beat the
yolk with ¾ of a tablespoonful of sugar and a speck of salt until
creamy. Add ¾ of a cup of milk and 1 tablespoonful of brandy. Beat the
white until foamy, add to the above mixture and serve immediately. A
little nutmeg may be substituted for the brandy. The eggs and milk
should be chilled before using. Eggnog is very nutritious.

=Egg Broth.= Beat the yolk of 1 egg, add 1 tablespoonful of sugar
and a speck of salt. Add 1 cup of hot milk and pour it on gradually.
Flavor with nutmeg.
Dried and rolled bread crumbs may be added, or beef, mutton or chicken
broth may be used in place of the milk, and the sugar may be omitted.
The whole egg may be used if desired.
This is very delicious made with beef broth, instead of hot milk.
Pineapple juice or coffee may be used.

=Coffee Eggnog.= 1 egg, 1¼ teaspoons of sugar, ½ scant cup of milk or
cream, ½ scant cup of coffee.

=Egg Malted Milk.= Mix 1 tablespoonful of Horlick’s Malted Milk with
1 tablespoonful of crushed fruit and 1 egg; beat for five minutes.
Strain and add 20 drops of acid phosphate, 1 tablespoonful of crushed
ice and ¾ cup of ice water. A grating of nutmeg may be used for flavor.

=Grape Yolk.= Separate the white and the yolk of an egg, beat the
yolk, add the sugar and let the yolk and sugar stand while the white
of the egg is thoroughly whipped. Add two tablespoonsful of grape
juice to the yolk and pour this on to the beaten white, blending
carefully. Have all ingredients chilled before blending and serve cold.
* * * * *
=Albuminized Milk.= Beat ½ cup of milk and the white of one egg with
a few grains of salt. Put into a fruit jar, shake thoroughly until
blended. Strain into a glass and serve cold.
* * * * *
=Albumin Water.= Albumin water is used chiefly for infants in cases of
acute stomach and intestinal disorders, in which some nutritious and
easily assimilated food is needed. The white of 1 egg is dissolved in
a pint of water, which has been boiled and cooled.
