EAWLING'S MIXED DRINKS
HOT DRINKS.
When tired, cold, or after exposure
in wet weather, a hot drink is "just
what the doctor ordered." It should
not be taken just before going out into
the cold air; in fact, it has its most
beneficial effect if taken just before re
tiring.
When serving hot drinks use a thin
glass, preferably one of the long-
stemmed kind made especially for hot
liquids. To hold the heat it should be
first filled with hot water; if a common
glass is used put in a spoon before the
water to prevent cracking the glass. If
the drink is too hot to serve do not im
pair the flavor by using ice, but pour
the contents from one glass to another
several times. As sugar is not readily
dissolved in liquor, mix it with a little
hot water first.
