No. 9 Arrow-Root Milk
Put in a pan 4 oz. arrow-root, 3 oz. sugar, the peel of half a lemon, ¼ teaspoonful of salt, 2½ pints of milk; set it on the fire; stir gently; boil for ten minutes, and serve.
If no lemons at hand, a little essence of any kind will do.
When short of milk, use half water—half an ounce of butter is an improvement.
