ROYAL POSSET FOR A COLD.
MIX a table-spoonful of Robinson’s Patent Groats with a wine-glass-ful of cold water, pour this into a stewpan containing nearly half a pint of ordinary French white wine, sweeten with honey, flavour with a few drops of essence of cloves; or failing this, a few cloves will do; stir the posset over the fire, while boiling for six minutes, and drink it quite hot just before going to bed.
