And for an encore you might vary it a little bit in this way: Stir
together two tablespoonfuls of sugar, the juice of half a lemon, half
a teaspoonful of mixed spices and half a pint of claret. Boil this for
two minutes and then pour it over the yolks of two eggs that have
been beaten well with a teaspoonful of sugar. Stir all the while that
you are pouring the wine slowly over the eggs. Grate a little nutmeg
over the top after you have poured the mixture into hot glasses. Now
mind, don't get confused and pour the eggs into the wine, for that
would spoil everything; pour the wine over the eggs. And be thankful
that you have lived long enough to concoct such a satisfying drink as
this always proves itself to be.
