Put a blade of Mace & a large piece
of crumb of bread & a quart of water in
to a clean saucepan. Let it boil 2
minutes then take out the bread &
bruise it very fine in a basin
Mix as much water as you think it
will require, put away the rest &
sweeten it to Palate - put a bit of
butter not bigger than a walnut but
do not put in any wine, it will spoil
