You may season it also with Rose-water or Orange flower-water, or
Ambergreece, or some Yolks of New-laid-eggs. You may put in a very little
Salt at the first.
RICE AND ORGE MONDE
Boil a quart of Milk in a large Pipkin; as soon as it boileth, take it from
the fire, and instantly put into it five or six good spoonfuls of picked
Rice, and cover it close, and so let it stand soaking in the Chimney-corner
two hours. Then set in on the fire again, to make it stew or boil
simpringly for an hour, or an hour and half more, till it be enough. Then
put sugar to it, and so serve it in.
_Orge monde_ is done in the same manner; only, you let that stand covered
and warm all the while, during three, four or five hours, and then you boil
it simpringly three or four hours more. The quantity must be more or less,
as you desire it thicker or thinner, which after once tryal, you will
easily know how to proportion out. The chief care must be, that the Rice or
Barley be well homogeneated with the Milk.
SMALLAGE GRUEL
In a Marble mortar beat great Oat-meal to meal (which requireth long
beating) then boil it three or four hours in Spring water.
