small mug, and pour boiling water on it; let it set by the fire to settle, and
pour it off in a cup, with sugar and cream. Care should be taken that there are
no burnt grains.
Chocolate.
To make a cup of chocolate, grate a large tea-spoonful in a mug, and pour a
tea-cup of boiling water on it; let it stand covered by the fire a few minutes,
when you can put in sugar and cream.
Black Tea.
Black tea is much more suitable than green for sick persons, as it does not
affect the nerves. Put a tea-spoonful in a pot that will hold about two cups,
and pour boiling water on it. Let it set by the fire to draw five or ten
minutes.
Rye Mush.
This is a nourishing and light diet for the sick, and is by some preferred to
mush made of Indian meal. Four large spoonsful of rye flour mixed smooth in a
little water, and stirred in a pint of boiling water; let it boil twenty
minutes, stirring frequently. Nervous persons who sleep badly, rest much better
after a supper of corn, or rye mush, than if they take tea or coffee.
