Beverages

Non-Alcoholic

5.

Tincture

of

vanilla,

4

dr.;

solution

of

caramel,

4

dr.;

gum

foam,

2

dr.;

simple

syrup,

enough

to

make

32

oz.

Violet

Syrup

Refined

sugar,

5

kilos;

fresh

violets,

tops

of

the

flowers

only,

0.525

kilo;

water,

2,600

liters.

Bruise

the

violets

in

a

mortar;

put

in

a

water

bath

with

1.5

liter

at

60°

C.

Agitate

for

some

minutes

and

press

out

the

flowers.

Put

them

back

in

the

water

bath;

add

the

rest

of

the

boil-

ing

water;

infuse

for

12

hours;

allow

it

to

settle;

add

the

and

dissolve

by

Whipped

Cream

1.

Secure

cream

as

fresh

as

possible.

Surround

the

bowl

in

which

the

cream

is

being

whipped

with

cracked

ice

and

perform

the

work

in

a

cool

place.

As

fast

as

the

whipped

cream

rises,

skim

it

off

and

place

it

in

another

bowl,

likewise

surrounded

with

ice.

Do

not

whip

the

cream

either

too

long

or

too

violently.

The

downward

motion

of

the

beater

should

be

more

forcible

than

the

upward

motion,

as the

first

tends

to

force

the

air

into

the

cream,

while

the

second

tends,

on

the

contrary,

to

expel

the

air.

A

little

powdered

sugar

should

be

added

to

the

cream

after

it

is

whipped,

in

order

to

sweeten

it.

Make

the

whipped

cream

in

small

quantities

and

keep

it

on

ice.

The

object

of

keeping

the

cream

cool

and

avoiding

too

much

beating

is

to

prevent

the

formation

of

butter.

The

beating

of

the

cream

can

be

easily

effected

by

means

of

the

egg

beater.
