A very agreeable and useful beverage is made by dissolving a quarter of
an ounce of Nelson's Gelatine in a pint of milk. A spoonful of cream
can, if preferred, be used with a bottle of soda-water. For invalids,
this beverage can be used instead of tea or coffee, and may be
preferable in many cases on account of the nourishment it contains; it
will also be found an excellent substitute, taken hot, for wine-whey, or
posset, as a remedy for a cold. For summer use, Milk Beverage is
delicious, and may be flavoured with raspberry or strawberry syrup. If
on standing it should thicken, it will only be necessary briskly to beat
it up with a spoon.
