Sago Soup

Wash one-fourth pound of sago, and boil it for one hour in plenty of water, adding a small piece of stick cinnamon, the rind of one lemon, and a pinch of salt. At the end of that time mix with the sago three or four slices of lemon, sufficient red wine to make the required quantity of soup, and sugar to taste. Stir the soup over the fire until boiling, then remove the lemon-peel and cinnamon. Sprinkle some powdered sugar and cinnamon in with the soup and serve it.
