Champagne Sauce

Place two cloves, half a dozen whole peppers and one-half tablespoonful of powdered sugar in a saucepan with a brimming glassful of champagne. Set it on the fire and reduce it for five minutes; then moisten with three-quarters of a pint of Spanish sauce and cook for fifteen minutes longer. Strain through a fine strainer, and serve.
