But to so much meat,
and for so long boiling, you must have at least three Gallons of water.
Either way you must boil always but leisurely, and the pot covered as much
as is convenient, and season it in due time with a little salt, as also
with Pepper, if you like it; and if you be in vigorous health, you may put
a greater store of Onions quartered. The beets have no very good taste,
peradventure it were best leave them out. In health you may season the
potage with a little juyce of Orange. In season green Pease are good, also
Cucumbers. In winter, Roots, Cabbage, Poix chiches, Vermicelli at any time.
You may use yolks of Eggs beaten with some of the broth and juyce of
Oranges or Verjuyce, then poured upon the whole quantity.
TEA WITH EGGS
The Jesuite that came from China, Ann. 1664, told Mr. Waller, That there
they use sometimes in this manner. To near a pint of the infusion, take two
yolks of new laid-eggs, and beat them very well with as much fine Sugar as
is sufficient for this quantity of Liquor; when they are very well
incorporated, pour your Tea upon the Eggs and Sugar, and stir them well
together.
