enty minutes. The rolls will then be very good, and keep a
fortnight.
DEVONSHIRE JUNKET. Put warm milk into a bowl, and turn it with rennet.
Then without breaking the curd, put on the top some scalded cream, sugar
and cinnamon.
DIET BREAD. Beat nine eggs, and add their weight in sifted sugar, and
half as much flour. Mix them well together, grate in the rind of a
lemon, and bake it in a hoop.
DIET DRINK. Infuse in five gallons of small beer, twelve ounces of red
dock-roots, the pith taken out; three ounces of chicary roots, two
handfuls of sage, balm, brooklime, and dandelion; two ounces of senna,
two of rhubarb, four ounces of red saunders, and a few parsley and
carraway seeds. Or boil a pound of the fine raspings of guaiacum, with
six gallons of sweetwort, till reduced to five; and when it is set to
work, put in the above ingredients. If a little salt of wormwood be
taken with it, this diet drink will act as a diuretic, as well as a
purgative.
