Shake, then add coarse stream, fill glass, decorate with fruit (orange slice on rim, strawberry on top).


Sundae:


FREE LUNCH

Take  a deep sundae dish, one that will hold two disherfuls of cream, and put  in one disherful of vanilla ice cream. Over this put some chocolate  syrup, a few pieces of sliced bananas and a half teaspoonful of malted  milk (powder). Now put in another disherful of vanilla cream and cover  with chocolate syrup. Place sliced bananas all around the top with a  spoonful of chopped pecans over all. At the top, in the center, place a  Maraschino cherry with a toothpick through it.


“This  delicacy sells readily for 15 cents and is a trade winner. Of course,  you must use your judgment in the making and not be too liberal, because  if you are careful you can make a good percent of profit on each  sundae. This one has been especially popular with the students in our  neighborhood." (W. Arthur Golding.)
