You may put some juyce of Limon or Orange to it.
Also season it with Cinnamon, and make the broth stronger of the flesh.
The Queens white Potage is made only of the white flesh of Capon beaten
with good broth and strained, and a little juyce of Limon or Orange; but no
Almonds.
PRESSIS NOURISSANT
The Queen Mothers _Pressis_ was thus made. Take _un Gigot_ of Mutton, a
piece of Veal, and a Capon (or half the quantity of each of these) and put
them to rost with convenient fire, till they are above half rosted, or
rather, till they be two thirds rosted. Then take them off, and squeese out
all their juyce in a press with screws, and scum all the fat from it, and
put it between two dishes upon a Chafing-dish of Coals to boil a very
little, or rather but to heat well; for by then it is through hot, the
juyce will be ripened enough to drink, whereas before it was raw and
bloody; then if you perceive any fat to remain and swim upon it, clense it
away with a Feather. Squeese the juyce of an Orange (through a holed spoon)
into half a Porrenger full of this, and add a little Salt, and drink it.
