lemonade tastes better when sipped through straws. A box of one hundred straws may be purchased for a small sum, and they are well worth the investment. Iced tea is a favorite beverage for summer tables, but the receipt given here is as unlike that usually masquerading under this title as black is from white. ICED COFFEE For icea coffee to serve in the afternoon or evening make the coffee in the morning. Sweeten to taste, and set to cool. BEVERAGES: HOT AND COLD 379 Put a tablespoon of cracked ice in each glass in which the coffee is served, and drop a spoonful of whipped cream on top of each glass of the beverage. ICED TEA Fill thin glasses full of shaved ice, placing a thin slice of lemon on top of each and also one teaspoon of powdered sugar. Make a pot of strong tea and pour into the glasses over the ice. There will not be any danger of breaking them, as the ice cools the tea immediately, and herein lies the secret of the delicious flavor obtained. [See illustration, Plate XXIX.] SUMMER COCOA Mix a heaping teaspoon of cocoa with the same quantity of sugar in enough boiling water to dissolve both cocoa and sugar. Fill the tumbler with fresh cold milk or with thin cream. ICED COCOA Boil a heaping teaspoon of cocoa in half a pint of boiling water for five minutes.
