Home Made Mulled Beer

by admin on April 14, 2010

This is one for a cold winter night.     
   
Its only recently that we have actually started to serve our beer cold…since refrigeration became possibe.  There were times in the long history of beer when the preference was for a piping hot brew.
  
This recipe comes from a book called the “Experienced English Housekeeper” by Elizabeth Raffald.

Take a pint of good strong ale(use your favourite home made beer here).

Put it in a saucepan, add three of four cloves.

Add nutmeg and sugar to taste.

Boil, reduce heat and allow to simmer.

Beat the yolks of four eggs really well and pour them into your pan, stirring well.

The end of the recipe calls for you to…pour it in an out of your pan several times, then set it over a slow fire and heat it a little.  Take it off again, and heat it two or three times ’til it is quite hot.  The serve it up with dry toast.

Use your own judgement and substitute your own modern equipment.

By the way, the book was originally from 1769…cool or what!
