Egg Flip

Make one pint of ale warm, but not too hot. Beat two or three eggs, with three ounces of sugar, together, pour the mixture into the jug containing the ale, and then pour both back into an empty jug. This must be done quickly five or six times, until all is well mixed together; then grate ginger and nutmeg over the top, and the flip is quite ready. Serve in glasses while hot. Time, a few minutes. Probable cost, 7d.
