FOR AFTERNOON TEA.
Cooling Recipes Which Can Be Served on Warm Days.
The center of hospitality in summer as well as in winter is of course the afternoon tea table. With its dainty silver and china appointments it is a joy to the eye as well as an unfailing aid to conversation. Of course, the traditional cup of tea lies waiting for whoever wishes it, but there are many cooling recipes which are perhaps more tempting in warm weather. One of these is currant julep.
Mash a pint of currants, add a pint of water, rub through a sieve and strain through cheesecloth; set on ice to chill. Use tall, thin glasses, with crushed ice in the bottom of each and three cubes of sugar. Line with stalks of mint tall enough to come above the brim, and on top of the sugar place three ripe raspberries. Fill the glasses to within an inch of the top with iced currant water and serve with straws.
A decided novelty is iced chocolate. Mix six level teaspoonfuls of melted chocolate in one quart of boiling milk. Remove from fire and sweeten to taste. Add three drops of cinnamon extract and one-fourth of a pint of clear, strong coffee. Cool, then set on ice until chilled thoroughly. Remove every vestige of the oil which floats on top. Pour into iced glasses and place on top of each a large spoonful of whipped cream seasoned with vanilla.
-Yes! The wise permanent residents of the city buy their Tea and Coffee at Holland's old established Tea store, 227 West Commerce St.
