Barley Water
- 2 Tbs pearl barley
- 4 cups water
Put barley over the fire in cold water, let come to a boil and cook 5 min. Then drain off the water and rinse the barley in cold water. Return to the fire. Add 1 quart of water. Bring to a boil again and simmer until reduced by 1/2. This may be sweetened or flavored. This is highly nourishing.
Oatmeal Gruel
- 1/2 cup oatmeal
- 6 cups boiling water
- 1 tsp salt
- sugar and cream
Add salt to the boiling water. Stir in the oatmeal and cook for 2 1/2 hours in a double boiler. Remove from fire and strain. When preparing it for a patient, use 1/2 cup gruel mixed with 1/2 cup thin cream, 2 in. boiling water and sugar to taste.
Flax Seed Lemonade
- 2 Tbs Flaxseed
- 4 cups boiling water
- 1 cup sugar
- Juice and grated rind of 3 lemons
Blanch the flax seed, add boiling water and let it simmer for 3/4 hour then add sugar and lemon rind. Let stand for 15 min. strain and add lemon juice. Serve either hot or cold. Also a tsp. of this every 1/2 hour will help a bad cough.
Eggnog
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 cup cream or milk
- Flavoring
Beat the eggs until light and creamy add the sugar and beat again then add the cream or milk and the flavoring, and beat again. Serve immediately to patient. [We think the flavoring would probably be nutmeg and vanilla.]
