A Sack-Posset as Sir Kenelm's House-keeper made it for him.

Take three pints of Cream, boil in it a lit∣tle Cinamon, a Nutmeg quartered, and two spoonfuls of grated Bread, then beat the yolks of twelve Eggs very well with a little cold Cream, and a spoonful of Sack; when your Cream has boil'd about a quarter of an hour, thicken it up with the Eggs; then sweeten it with Su∣gar, and take half a pint of Sack, and six spoonfuls of Ale, and put it into the Bason or Dish you intend to make it in, with a little Am∣bergrease (if you please) then powr your Cream and Eggs into it, holding your hand as high as conveniently you can, gently stirring in the Bason with a Spoon as you powr it: so serve it up. If you please you may strew Sugar upon it.

You may strew Ambered Sugar upon it as you eat it, or Sugar beaten with Cinamon, if you like it.
