Farmhouse Syllabub

Take a china or earthenware bowl of any size, nearly half full of cider, (if sour, it is of no consequence) sweeten to taste with coarse brown sugar. Grate nutmeg and cinnamon to taste, then send the bowl to the cow to be milked on till quite full of froth. A better syllabub for company is made of port wine and cider mixed, sweetened with white sugar and spice to taste.
