BEVERAGES Subject ^Iatter A beverage is any liquid which satisfies the thirst and re freshes or stimulates the body. It has little or no food value, does not build muscle or tissue ; neither does it give heat to the body. The principle beverage is water, and, while strictly speaking, water is not a food, it is a part of all lx)dy tissue. In fact, two-thirds of the weight of the body is water. Water forms a part of nearly all of our foods, and the body could live much longer without food than without water. "Water is easily contaminated by dirt and disease germs. Typhoid fever, one of our most contagious disease, is frequently contracted by drinking impure water. Therefore, greatest care should be taken to insure a safe and dean watei- supply. Tea, eolfee, and cocoa arc, in general, very popular beverages. They are liked for their pleasant flavors and stimu- lating quaJities. Tea and coft'ee should not be taken by the young people ; for, owing to their stimulating qualities, they are likely to have a bad effect upon the nerves of the young people. Cocoa is an excellent bevm-age for young people, and when made with milk, it becomes a food. A small amount of tea is grown in this country in Soutli Carolina, but with that exception, our teas, coffees, and cocoa are all imported. It is much better to purchase coffee in the bean and grind it as it is used.. It retains its flavor longer, and there is less danger of adulteration. It is usually cheaper when purchased in this way than when it is ground and put up in cans with fancy labels. Coffee substitutes are made of roasted and ground grains and even browned and ground bread crumbs. Lemonade is another most refreshing beverage, especially on a hot summer day. Grape juice is also most refreshing and has some nutritive value, as well. With the abundance of wild grapes to be found in Texas, a family could easily put up all the grape juice it needs at very little cost. Simple Courses in Home Economics 21 Lesson Plan. Teacher's Aim: To teach the pupils how — To tell when water is boiling; To make good tea, coffee, and cocoa. Pupils' Aim: To learn to prej)are good licverages. Suggested Questions. Do you know the source of your drinking water at home? How can contaminated water he made safe for drinking? What is the value of water to the body?
