Directions
_Cafe noir_ is the name given to the coffee taken after dinner. It is generally made rather strong. Gentlemen sometimes put liquor in it--a glass of brandy, or rum, or kirschwasser; and ladies, a little cold milk.
Taken fifteen or twenty minutes after dinner, it helps digestion. It excites the faculties of the mind, and gives what physiologists call "agreeable sensations."
Coffee is nutritious, and to a certain extent prevents waste of the system.
CHOCOLATE.
The quantity of chocolate for a certain quantity of milk is according to taste. Two ounces of chocolate make a good cup of it, and rather thick.
Break the chocolate in pieces, put it in a tin saucepan with a tablespoonful of water to an ounce of chocolate, and set it on a rather slow fire. Stir now and then till thoroughly melted.
While the chocolate is melting, set the quantity of milk desired in another tin saucepan on the fire, and as soon as it rises and when the chocolate is melted, as directed above, turn the milk into the chocolate, little by little, beating well at the same time with an egg-beater. Keep beating and boiling after being mixed, for three or four minutes; take off and serve.
If both chocolate and milk are good, it will be frothy; and no better or more nutritious drink can be had.
Choca is nothing more nor less than one cup of coffee and milk mixed with a cup of chocolate, and for breakfast.
Put in a tea or coffee cup one or two tablespoonfuls of ground cocoa, pour boiling water or boiling milk on it, little by little, stirring with a spoon the while; sweeten it to taste. A few drops of essence of vanilla may be added, according to taste.
