Rice-Milk

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoonful rice
• 1 quart milk
• sugar to taste, when liked
• a little grated nutmeg

Instructions

1. Well wash the rice, put it into a saucepan with the milk, and simmer gently until the rice is tender, stirring it from time to time to prevent the milk from burning; sweeten it, add a little grated nutmeg, and serve.
2. This dish is also very suitable and wholesome for children; it may be flavoured with a little lemon-peel, and a little finely-minced suet may be boiled with it, which renders it more strengthening and more wholesome.
3. Tapioca, semolina, vermicelli, and macaroni, may all be dressed in the same manner.
