1 cup _boiling_ water.
1 cup fresh milk.
1 large tablespoonful Hecker’s Farina, wet up with cold water.
2 teaspoonfuls white sugar.
A pinch of salt.
Stir the farina into the boiling water (_slightly_ salted) in the
farina kettle (_i. e._, one boiler set within another, the latter
filled with hot water). Boil fifteen minutes, stirring constantly until
it is well-thickened. Then add the milk, stirring it in gradually, and
boil fifteen minutes longer. Sweeten, and give to the child so soon as
it is cool enough.
You may make enough in the morning to last all day; warming it up with
a little hot milk as you want it. Keep in a cold place. Some of the
finest children I have ever seen were reared upon this diet. Do not get
it too sweet, and cook it well. Be sure the farina is sweet and dry.
