Mulled Wine.

(Use a punch bowl.)

  • Take 2½ pints of good Sherry wine.
  • Take 2 pints hot water.
  • Take ¼ pound of sugar.
  • Take Whites of 12 eggs.

Dissolve the sugar in the water, add the wine, and let the mixture come nearly to the boil. Meantime beat up the whites of the eggs to a froth, pour them into the hot mixture, stirring rapidly, and add a little nutmeg.

The vessel in which the wine is boiled must be thoroughly clean.
