Zabajone.

Italian Drink.

This consists of a frothing wine mixture, yolks of eggs, and sugar, thickened over the fire. It is generally made with gold Cyprus wine and two other kinds of wine mixed together — for instance, Malaga and Marsala, one sweet and the other spirituous. It is made by taking three yolks for every two guests, a spoonful of sugar to each egg, and as much wine as the eggs will use up. First mix the yolks and sugar well together, then add the wine, and put the mixture over the fire till it be- comes condensed. It must not boil, and should be served very hot in glasses.
