Ale Cup

Squeeze the juice of a lemon into a round of hot toast; lay on it a thin piece of the rind, a tablespoonful of powdered sugar, a little grated nutmeg or powdered allspice, and a sprig of balm. Pour over these one glass of brandy, two of sherry, and three pints of mild ale. Do not allow the balm to remain many minutes. Sufficient for five or six persons. Probable cost, 2s.
