There are drinks easily prepared for children, which they love much better than tea and coffee, for no child at first loves these drinks till trained to it. As their older friends are served with green and black tea, there is a white tea to offer them, which they will always prefer, if properly trained, and it is always healthful.

White Tea

Put two teaspoonfuls of sugar into half a cup of good milk, and fill it with boiling water.

Coffee

Mocha and old Java are the best, and time improves all kinds. Dry it a long time before roasting. Roast it quickly, stirring constantly, or it will taste raw and bitter. "When roasted, sprinkle a little powdered sugar over the coffee just before it is done roasting; the sugar forms an air tight coating over each berry, and thus preserves the caffeine till the coffee is ground. Put it in a tin can, with a tight fitting lid, as you retain, by so doing, the life and essence of the berry.
