GREAT GRANDMA VIANN CAMBRIDGE
TEA
 
This is a very old receipt, popular in the 1700 and 1800 along the Eastern islands. It is used as a health tonic and to replace any hot drink. Tasty enough for children.

1 to 2 cups water
1 tsp to 2 tsp strong molasses
milk (using about 1/3 milk)

For one cup, fill a cup 2/3 full of water and microwave until very hot. Add 1 teaspoon molasses and stir well, fill to top with milk.

Note: If used for anemia, use more molasses: 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons molasses.

Makes 1 serving.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
