In cases where milk feeding must be prolonged, and the flavor of raw milk is objectionable, change it, and speak of it to the patient, for the mind has great influence over the palate. The taste is not natural in fevers; even the best of foods are unattractive.

Caramel Milk

Put a half cupful of dry sugar into a saucepan and stand it over the fire; in a moment the sugar will melt and begin to smoke; add a half cupful of water, boil a minute, cool and bottle. A few drops added to milk will entirely change its flavor and will not only make it agreeable but attractive to the patient. Caramel will keep for months.

Raisin Milk

Boil twelve raisins in a cup of water for ten minutes; drain, pressing the raisins, and stand this liquid aside to cool. When cold add it to a quart of milk.

Cinnamon Milk

A stick of cinnamon put into cold milk when it is put away in the morning, or a clove, or a bay leaf, will frequently make it agreeable to people who dislike milk.
