TEWAHDIDDLE

The Black Boy Inn

TEWAHDIDDLE.

A pint of table beer (or ale, if you intend it for a supplement to your "night-cap"), a tablespoonful of brandy, and a teaspoonful of brown sugar, or clarified syrup; a little grated nutmeg or ginger may be added, and a roll of very thin cut lemon peel.

Obs.-- Before our readers make any remarks on this composition, we beg of them to taste it; if the materials are good, and their palate vibrates in unison with our own, they will find it one of the pleasantest beverages they ever put to their lips,-- and, as Lord Ruthven says, "this is a right gossips' cup, that far exceeds all the ale that ever MOTHER BUNCH made in her lifetime."-- See his Lordship's "Experiments in Cookery," &c., page 215. 180mo. London, 1654.
