Toast Water

Toast two or three slices of stale bread until brown all through, but not at all scorched. Break the toast in small pieces, and put one cup of it into a pitcher, using none of the toast that is not thoroughly brown. Pour on the toast three cups of boiling water, let this stand for ten minutes, strain, and serve when cold.

KOUMISS-Heat one quart of milk to seventy-five degrees, add one and one-half tablespoons of sugar and one-fourth of a yeast cake, dissolved in lukewarm water. Fill sterilized beer bottles to within one and one-half inches of the top, cork tightly and shake. Invert the bottles and place where they will be in a temperature of about seventy degrees for ten hours. Place on ice and let stand for two days, shaking now and then to prevent the cream from forming in the mouth of the bottle.
