RICE GRUEL (Invalid Cookery)

Take a spoonful of ground rice, and with it thicken a pint of milk or water. Mix it in the same way as oatmeal gruel; boil with a bit of dried orange-peel or lemon-peel and a bit of cinnamon. Boil for about ten minutes, sweeten with loaf sugar, and add two glassfuls of port or one of brandy, as may be required. This is a good gruel for bowel complaints, but arrow-root is better.
