Keep grated ginger and nutmeg with a little fine dried lemon peel rubbed together in a mortar.
To make a quart of flip:-- Put the ale on the fire to warm, and beat up three or four eggs with four ounces of moist sugar, a teaspoonful or grated nutmeg or ginger, and a quartern of good old rum or brandy. When the ale is near to boil put it into one pitcher, and the rum and eggs, &c., into another; turn it from one pitcher to another till it is as smooth as cream.
