A Covent-Garden-Posset.

Take a quart of new Cream, a quarter of an ounce of Cinamon, and a Nutmeg quarter'd, and boil it till it taste of the Spice, and keep it always stirring, or it will burn to, then take the yolks of eight Eggs well beaten, with a little cold Cream, and put them into the hot Cream over the fire, and stir it till it begin to boil, then take it off, and stir it till it be indifferently cold, sweetning it with some Sugar, then take a little more than a quarter of a pint of Sack, and sweeten that also, then set it on the ••••••e till it be ready to boil, then put it in∣to a deep Bason and pour the Cream into it, elevating your hand as high as you can conveniently to make it froth, which is the grace of your Posset, and if you put it through a Tunnel, it is held the most ex∣quisite way.
