or
five minutes stirring constantly. Add one pint of cold milk and strain
into a jar; add the usual peptonizing ingredients, place in warm water
(115 degrees) for twenty minutes, and then put upon ice.
Junket or Curds and Whey.--Take a half-pint of fresh milk; add one
teaspoonful of Fairchild's Essence of Pepsin and stir just sufficiently to
mix. Pour into custard cups and let it stand until firmly curdled. It may
be served plain or with sugar and grated nutmeg. It may be flavored with
wine which should be added before curdling takes place.
Junket with Eggs.--Beat one egg to a froth, and sweeten with two
teaspoonfuls of white sugar; add this to a half-pint of warm milk; then
add one teaspoonful of essence of pepsin and let it stand until curdled.
Milk Punch.--Shake together in a lemonade-shaker a glass of milk, a
tablespoonful of rum, brandy, or good old whisky and two teaspoonfuls of
sugar. After it has been poured into a glass a little nutmeg may be grated
over the top.
Whey.--Take a half-pint of fresh milk heated luke-warm (115 degrees), add
one tablespoonful of essence of pepsin and stir just enough to mix. When
this is firmly coagulated, beat up with a fork until the curd is finely
divided and then strain. For flavoring purposes lemon juice or sherry wine
may be added.

Cream of Tartar Whey.--Add a heaping teaspoonful of cream of tartar to a
pint of boiling water. Strain, sweeten to taste, and serve cold.
Wine Whey.--Cook together a cupful of milk and half a cupful of sherry
wine. As soon as the curd separates, strain and sweeten. This may be eaten
hot or cold.
Milk Mixture.--This is made of cream, two parts; milk, one part; lime
water, two parts; sugar water, three parts (seventeen and three-fourths
drams of milk sugar to a pint of water).
Milk-and-Cinnamon Drink.--Add a small amount of cinnamon to the desired
quantity of milk and boil it. Sweeten with sugar and add brandy if
desired.
Albuminized Milk.--Shake in a covered jar or lemonade-shaker, a cupful of
milk, a tablespoonful of lime water and the white of an egg. Sweeten,
flavor as desired and serve at once.
Milk-and-Cereal Waters.--A most valuable method of preparing milk for
invalids with whom it disagrees is to mix equal parts of milk and
thoroughly cooked barley, rice, oatmeal, or arrowroot water and boil them
together for ten minutes. This may be served plain, or flavored by cooking
with it a cut-up raisin,
