Put a lump of loaf-sugar in a cup; fill the cup one-third full of cream; let it stand a minute to melt the sugar and fill up with boiling water direct from the kettle. To those whose nerves forbid the use of tea or coffee, and who do not like chocolate, this mild, nutritious beverage is cordially commended. There is no milk-and-water insipidity about it if the cream be genuine and the water on a fresh, violent boil.

It is especially good for invalids and sickly children.
