Required : Half a pint of milk. One egg.

One teaspoonful of castor sugar. Two teaspoonfuls of brandy.

First scald the milk. To do this, pour it into a jug, stand the jug in a saucepan of boiling water. Let the water boil, but not the milk. When the milk is just frothy on the top, take it out and let it get cold. Beat up the egg, strain it into a tumbler, add the brandy and sugar, and fill up the glass with the milk.
