MULLS AND SANGAREES. 122. Mulled Wine Without Eggs.

To every pint of wine allow: I small tumblerful of water. Sugar and spice to taste.

In making preparations like the above,it is very diffi cult to give the exact proportions of ingredients like sugar and spices, as what quantity might suit one per son would be to another quite distasteful. Boil the spice in the water until the flavor is extracted,.then add the wine and sugar, and bring the whole to the boiling point, then serve with strips of crisp, dry toast, or with biscuits. The spices usually used for mulled wine are cloves, grated nutmeg, and cinnamon or mace. Any kind of wine may be mulled, but port or claret are those usually selected for the purpose; and the latter requires a large proportion of sugar. The vessel that the wine is boiled in must be delicately clean., 123. Mulled Wine With Eggs. I table-spoonful of allspice, and nutmeg to taste; boil them together a few minutes; beat up six eggs with sugar to your taste; pour the boiling wine stirring it all the time. Be careful not to pour the eggs into the wine, or they will curdle. 124. Mulled Wine. (With the white ofeggs.) Dissolve I lb. sugar in two pints of hot water, to which add two and a half pints of good sherry wine,and let the mixture be set upon the fire until it is almost I quart of wine. I pint of water.
