Beat up the whole or the yolk of an egg with a little water and some brandy, sherry, cognac or whiskey, and one or two teaspoonsful of sugar. To this add eight to ten ounces of rich raw or sterilized milk, or one-half cream and one-half water. Flavor with nutmeg or bitter almond. FRUIT LEMONADE. Boil some water with a little sugar and the rind of a lemon, orange or apple. Add to it some preserved strawberry, cherry, pineapple, currant or raspberry juice, and seltzer water, or add a mixture of several different fruit juices. This is excellent for fever patients, but not for people suffering with lung or heart diseases. ALMOND MILK. Blanch one cup of almond meats, chop or grind them coarsely, and pour over them a quart of hot water. Let stand several hours or over night, press through a cheese-cloth, and keep on ice. A few bitter almonds may be added. BEER LEMONADE. Wash a half cup of dried currants or raisins, put on to boil with a pint of water, a tablespoonful of rye nuts or black toast, a piece of cinnamon, some lemon rind and one or two tablespoonsful of sugar. Simmer slowly for fifteen minutes, add a pint of Munchener’s Spatenbraü, let it boil for one minute, and strain. Keep in a cool place. Serve hot or cold. STRAWBERRY MILK. Wash two cups of fresh strawberries. Put into a milk-pitcher and add two quarts of fresh raw or cold boiled milk, a little vanilla and a small piece of ice. Strain, serve with zwieback or shredded wheat. Sugar may be added, if desired. This is more wholesome than ice cream. EGG WINE. Mix thoroughly the yolk of three eggs with three teaspoonsful of sugar. Add a pint of white or red wine or one-half of wine and one-half of water. Serve with zwieback or wafers. TEA. Rinse the teapot with boiling water. Take a teaspoonful of black Japan tea, add a pint of boiling water, and let stand over steam for one or two minutes. Strain, and serve hot or cold with lemon juice or cream. COFFEE. Grind very coarsely two tablespoonsful of fresh coffee beans. Pour two cups of boiling water on them, let stand 5 minutes (do not boil), then strain. Serve black or with cream. Tea and coffee should be used for medicinal purposes only. MALT OR CEREAL COFFEE. Take one-half cup of instantaneous Postum or Kneipp’s malt coffee, pour three or four cups of boiling water on it. Let stand from 5 to 15 minutes, then strain. Serve hot or cold, with or without cream. People who wish to leave off coffee may add a teaspoonful of coffee beans to the cereal coffee a few minutes before straining. In this way they will gradually lose the desire for coffee. Bran tea or legume tea may be substituted for black tea or coffee. COCOA. No. 1. Dissolve one teaspoonful of cocoa and one of sugar in a little boiling water or milk and add a cup of rich milk. Let all boil a few minutes. Hot or whipped cream may be added before serving. COCOA. No. 2.
