1873 Toast and Cider
Miss Beecher's Housekeeper and Healthkeeper (1873)
Cider
Water
Sugar
Toasted bread
Nutmeg
Take one third brisk cider and two thirds cold water, sweeten it, crumb in toasted bread, and grate on a little nutmeg. Acid jelly will do when cider is not at hand.
Did we drink it: No
Would I make it again? No
Notes: The toast gave it a cookie like taste. Prefer the plain cider.
