CUP THAT CHEERS
TEA REQUIRES MUCH CARE IN
THE MAKING.
Delicious Beverage Is Too Often Spoil
id by Careless Handling Right
Way to Prepare Cocoa and Choco
lateVanilla Flavoring.
To Make Tea. Scald the pot and
never place it over the fire. A china,
granite, or earthen pot Is the best.
Allow one teaspoonful of tea to a pint
of boiling water. Add the tea to the
hot pot. pour on the boiling water and
cover with a tea basket or cozy, as
anything that will keep the heat in the
pot while it is steeping Is desirable.
The infusion will always be heavier at
the bottom of the pot, which makes It
better to Btlr the tea before pouring,
or the first cup will be weak and the
last too strong. Boiled tea is very in
jurious, more so than boiled coffee, as
it is rich in tannin.
Cocoa and chocolate are made from
the cocoa bean. These are ground,
mixed with sugar, and frequently ar
row root and starch. To some prep
arations cinnamon or vanilla is added.
Chocolate Is made from the bean, but
contains a much larger proportion of
fat than the cocoa productions. The
fat obtained from the cocoa bean is
cocoa butter. Cocoa and chocolate
differ from tea and coffee, as they
contain nutriment as well as stimu
lant. Theobromine, the active princi
ple, is very much like caffeine and.
theine in its composition and effects.
As cocoa and chocolate contain
starch it makes boiling a necessity in
the preparation. If milk is added and
boiled with the cocoa It is less diges
tible. Both chocolate and cocoa,
should be boiled in water and the
milk simply scalded and added last.
Good cocoa should be reddish brown,
very fine and free from fat. Cocoa,
when boiled in water with scalded
milk and whipped cream added is
more digestible than chocolate, al
though chocolate would be still mom
digestible If it were made with water
and used without cream.
A cup of chocolate with a piece of
whole wheat bread makes a good
breakfast for a school child.
To Make Cocoa. Moisten four tea
spoonfuls of cocoa with four table
spoonfuls of hot water, stir until
smooth, then add half a pint of boil
ing water, bring to the boiling point,
then add two tablespoonfuls of sugar
and half a cupful of good milk. Take
from the fire and add a few drops of
vanilla, If liked. Serve at once with
whipped cream.
To Make a Pot of Chocolate. Put
four ounces of chocolate In a double
boiler and allow it to melt; then add
a quart of boiling water and stir con
stantly until the water in the boiler
bolls for five minutes. Add a quart
of scalded milk and beat well with aa
egg beater. Serve plain or with whip
ped cream. A drop or two of cinna
mon or half a teaspoonful of vanilla,
may be added If desired.
How to Make Prune Pie.
Prune pie can be made now with a
little lemon peel to give It flavor. Grate
the peel and stone the prunes. Raisin
pie is nice, and dates even can be made
into our great American dish. Long be
fore cherries are here nice pies can
be made from canned cherries. , And
canned currants make a pie that one
never gets nowadays, somehow. Yet
why not? Currants grow, and arc
brought to Philadelphia markets in
generous amounts; yet they are only
used sparingly for currant Jelly. Cur
rant Jam is delicious for little tarts.
Spiced currants are fine. The trouble
is that currants come when city house
keepers here are closing their homes,
ar have already gone, and so none are
put up. From the strawberries that
are preserved In the spring to the au
tumn fruits there is a long gap. Phil
adelphia Ledger.
To Make Indian Muffins.
Sift and mix together a pint and a
half of yellow Indian meal and a hand
ful of flour. Melt a quarter of a pound
Df fresh butter in a quart of milk,
beat four eggs very light and stir
into them alternately (a little at a
time of each) the milk when it is
?uite cold, and the meal, adding a
small teaspoonful of salt. The whole
must be beaten long and hard.
Have the muffin rings buttered and
heated before pouring the batter Into
them for baking. Send the muffins to
the table hot and split them with tho
fingers for eating, as cutting with a
knife will make them heavy. Eat
with butter, molasses or honey.
Swiss Steak.
Get a round steak, about three
inches thick; salt, pepper and flour it;
take a meat pounder and keep pound
ing the flour in for about half an hour;
use Just as much flour as can bo
pounded in the meat. Put butter in
pan, and after it gets hot put meat in
and brown on both sides; then add
hot water and let cook slowly, close
ly covered. Keep adding water until
tender. If onions are liked, boll six
or eight onions In salt water until
tender. About 15 minutes before tak
ing up the steak pour the onions with
the liquid over the meat; cover and
simmer.
Orange Jumbles.
One-half cup butter, one cup sugar
creamed together. Add one beaten
egg, one-third cup of milk, one tea
spoonful orange extract. Beat to
gether, then stir in three cups of flour,
in which has been sifted one teaspoon
ful of soda, two of cream tartar and a
little Rait. Boll on a floured board
very thin, cut with a doughnut cutter,
sprinkle with sugar and bake in a mod
erate oven.
