Apple Toddy

Ingredients

2 large apples
1 tablespoon honey
1 pint water
½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

Method

Wipe the apples and cut up roughly without peeling. Place the pieces in a casserole with the water, put on the lid and simmer slowly until the apples are thoroughly softened. Press through a sieve to pulp the apples, add the honey and bicar­bonate of soda and sip slowly while hot.

This is a children's drink and the bicarbonate of soda is added, to make the drink fizz which probably makes it more interesting for young folk.
