Chocolate

Ingredients

• 1 ounce of plain chocolate
• 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar
• 1 quart of boiling milk, or half milk and half water

Instructions

Scrape fine an ounce (one of the small squares) of Baker's or any other plain chocolate.

Add sugar, and put in a small saucepan with a tablespoonful of hot water.

Stir over a hot fire for a minute or two, until it is perfectly smooth and glossy, and then stir it all into boiling milk.

Mix thoroughly, and serve at once.

If the chocolate is wanted richer, take twice as much chocolate, sugar, and water.

Made in this way, chocolate is perfectly smooth, and free of oily particles. If it is allowed to boil after the chocolate is added to the milk, it becomes oily and loses its fine flavor.
