Chocolate.
6 tablespoonfuls of chocolate to each pint of boiling water.
As much milk as you have chocolate.
Sweeten to taste.
Rub the chocolate smooth in a little cold water, and stir into the hot. Boil twenty minutes; put in the milk, and boil five minutes more, stirring often. Sweeten at pleasure, while boiling, or in the cups. Send around with the warm gingerbread and some slices of mild cheese. You will not regret not having prepared a more pretentious dessert.
