Heat the molasses to the boiling point, then add the sugar, butter and milk. Mix the flour with the baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and ginger. Add to the first mixture and blend well. Add a few tablespoons of water, enough so that the dough holds together and handles easily. Roll or pat out the dough about 1/4-inch thick. Cut into large or small gingerbread men, using special cookie cutters or a very sharp knife. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes. When cool, frost with confectioners frosting and decorate with candies, raisins or bits of citron.
