Ingredients

  • a pound of sugar broken small
  • a pint of port wine
  • a pint of sherry
  • a pint of brandy
  • 1 pint
  • 1/2 pint
  • 2 quarts
  • nutmeg

Directions

1

Put into a large bowl half a pound of sugar broken small, and pour on it the strained juice of a couple of fresh lemons; stir these well together, and add to them a pint of port wine, a pint of sherry, and half a pint of brandy; grate in a fine nutmeg, place the bowl under the cow, and milk it full. In serving it put a portion of the curd into each glass, fill it up with whey, and pour a little rich cream on the top. The rind of a lemon may be rasped on part of the sugar when the flavour is liked, but it is not usually added.
