Treacle Posset (II)

For each person use: 1 teaspoon black treacle, 1 glass milk.

Heat the milk and dissolve the treacle in it; serve hot. Black treacle contains large amounts of the B group of vitamins and the drink is an excellent preventive measure against colds, especially if taken each evening during the winter before retiring to bed.
