Brazilian Chocolate Recipe

This is usually served at The Waldorf-Astoria. We like it in our house and Mrs. Mouse never charges anything extra for the service. Serves four.

Ingredients:
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, grated
1 cup strong coffee
3 cups scalded milk
3 T. sugar, more or less to taste
Whipped cream for garnish

V.S.P. Add grated chocolate to coffee in top of a double boiler; place directly over low heat and stir until thoroughly blended; stir in sugar and a dash of salt and bring to a boil. Let boil 3 or 4 minutes, removing pan as mixture rises. Place over boiling water; add scalded milk, stirring constantly. Remove  from hot water; beat until light and frothy, pour into cups and top with a tuft of whipped cream. Serve at once.

Iced Sangria Recipe

This iced wine drink is a popular summer beverage in most Spanish-speaking countries. There are many variations of this recipe - try this one the first time, then you can change it to suit your own taste. It is traditional to serve in the pitcher for stirring before pouring. (Sangaree, a summer drink popular in the southern U.S., is derived from Sangria.)

Ingredients:
1 orange
1 lemon
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup superfine sugar
1/2 t. orange bitters
1 bottle (four-fifths quart) semi-dry red wine

Step 1. Slice the orange and lemon into round, paper-thin slices.

Step 2. Put the fruit and the remaining ingredients in a pitcher large enough to allow room for the addition of ice cubes.

Step 3. Mix thoroughly, making sure the sugar is dissolved. Chill until ready to serve. Just before serving, add ice cubes.
