1¹⁄₂ cups shells
3 cups water
3 cups milk
Sugar to taste
Bring the shells and water to a boil, put them into a cooker for eight
hours or more. Add the hot milk, strain the liquid off, pressing the
shells with a spoon to squeeze it out. Add the sugar and heat all until
boiling. By adding one-third of a cup of cocoa nibs a more satisfactory
drink is obtained. This recipe makes one quart.
