Ale Posset

Boil a pint of new milk and pour it over a slice of toasted bread. Stir in the beaten yolk of an egg, and a piece of butter the size of a nutmeg, and sugar to taste. Mix these with a pint of hot ale, and boil for a few minutes. When the scum rises it is sufficiently ready. Time, five minutes to boil. Probable cost, 8d. Sufficient for four persons.
