Wine whey is a cooling and safe drink in fevers. Set half a pint of
sweet milk at the fire, pour in one glass of wine, and let it remain
perfectly still, till it curdles; when the curds settle, strain it,
and let it cool. It should not get more than blood-warm. A spoonful of
rennet-water hastens the operation. Made palatable with loaf sugar and
nutmeg, if the patient can bear it.
