3

Mash ½ oz. of sago and soak it in a teacupful of cold water for an hour or more. Drain it and add 3 gills of good milk. Put it over the fire and let it simmer until the sago is entirely incorporated with the milk. Sweeten it with white sugar. It may be flavored with vanilla or nutmeg, if allowed by the physician.
