Pope's Posset

Blanch eight ounces of sweet almonds and six or eight bitter ones, and pound them in a mortar with a few drops of water to prevent them oiling. Put them into a pint of cold water, and bring the liquid slowly to a boil. Strain, and mix with it a bottle of white wine boiling hot. Add sugar to taste, and serve. Time, about half an hour to prepare. Sufficient for a quart jug.
