Posset, Wine

Grate finely the crumb of a stale roll, and put it into a saucepan with a pint of water and two large lumps of sugar which have been rubbed upon the rind of a Seville orange until the yellow part has been taken off. Let the mixture simmer until it is thick and clear, then add a pint of light wine, two ounces of sweet almonds, and six bitter ones blanched and pounded, half the juice of the Seville orange, and sugar to taste. Mix thoroughly, and serve. Time, about half an hour. Probable cost, 6d., exclusive of the wine.
