2 cups boiling water
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups milk
Few grains salt
1 full-sized marshmallow

Scald milk. Mix cocoa, sugar and salt, dilute with one-half cup boiling water to make smooth paste, add remaining water, and boil five minutes; turn into scalded milk and beat two minutes, using egg-beater, when froth will form. Cut marshmallow into eighths, add to cocoa.

Combine in a shaker 1  to 1½ ounces of chocolate syrup, 3 rounded teaspoons of malted milk, a small scoop of ice cream and 1 cup of milk. Shake thoroughly. Top with whipped cream. Serves one.

1 cup coffee grounds
6 cups boiling water

Place coffee in strainer, place strainer in percolator, and place percolator on the range. Place on heat until coffee percolates in glass indicator. Serve at once with cut sugar and cream: place sugar and cream in cup before hot coffee. There will be a perceptible difference if cream is added last.

Keep out of sigh of Scroogelike business managers.

1 egg, beaten
2 tsp sugar of honey
1 cup rich milk
½ tsp vanilla
Dash of nutmeg

Beat the egg and sugar together; then beat in the milk and vanilla. Serve cold in tall glasses with a light sprinkling of nutmeg. Omit the vanilla if other flavoring is used. To make a lighter, fluffier eggnog, beat the yolk and white separately. Add the sugar, milk, and flavoring to the yolk and fold into the white. Serves one. For a "nip" of extra taste, add a tablespoon of brandy.
