1 teaspoonful cocoa

1 tablespoonful boiling water

1/2 pint milk

1 teaspoonful granulated sugar

Tablespoon Measuring cup Saucepan

Take a teaspoonful of cocoa, and put it in a tin cup.

Add 1 teaspoonful of granulated sugar and one tablespoonful boiling water from the kettle.

Mix it well so that there will not be any lumps of cocoa.

Pour a little less than 1/2 pint of milk into a saucepan and cook it, stirring all the time until it is scalded; that is, until a film forms on it and it just begins to bubble.

Stir the cocoa mixture into this, and cook it until it boils up.

It burns very easily, so stir it carefully.

Pour into a large cup and serve. To keep the cup from cracking, put a teaspoon in it before you pour in the hot cocoa.
