Mulled Wine. (Mrs. Rothery.)
Requires 1 bottle of claret, 3 or 4 glasses of port, but first take the peel of a lemon, 2 ozs. of cloves, a little cinnamon, and nutmeg, and boil in a teacupful of water 5 minutes; add the wine, and sweeten to taste with castor sugar.
It must be scalding hot, but not boiling.
