Walked home with Pauline. Ruth Ray and Nadine tonight. Mother made some hot cocoa.

Hot Cocoa

Take 6 Tablespoons scraped chocolate, or 3 of chocolate and
3 of cocoa, dissolve in 1 quart of boiling water, boil hard for 15
minutes, add 1 quart rich milk, let scald and serve hot.

Some boil either cocoa or chocolate only one minute and then serve,
while others make it the day before using, boiling it for one hour
and when cool skimming off the oil, and when wanted for use, heat it
to the boiling point and add the milk. In this way it is equally good and
wholesome.
