Mulled Wine
2 eggs, beaten very light with the sugar.
1 table-spoonful white sugar.
2 full glasses white wine.
½ cup boiling water.
A little nutmeg.
Heat the water, add the wine; cover closely and bring almost to a boil. Pour this carefully over the beaten egg and sugar; set in a vessel of boiling water and stir constantly until it begins to thicken. Pour into a silver goblet, grate the nutmeg on the top, and let the invalid drink it as hot as it can be swallowed without suffering.
