SODA NEGUS
A MOST refreshing and elegant beverage, particularly for
those who do not take punch or grog after supper, is thus
made:
Put half a pint of port wine, with four lumps of sugar,
three cloves, and enough grated nutmeg to cover a shilling,
into a saucepan; warm it well, but do not suffer it to boil;
pour it into a bowl or jug,and upon the warm wine decant a
bottle of soda water. You will have an effervescing and
delicious negus by this means.
