Hot Milk

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 110°F (43°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Combine 9 parts milk and 1 part water in a milk boiler.

  2. Heat the mixture to 110°F (43°C).

  3. Sip slowly to allow saliva to combine with the milk and water.
