Royal posset for a cold

Mix a table-spoonful of Robinson's Patent Groats with a wine-glassful of cold water, pour this into a stewpan containing nearly half a pint of ordinary French white wine, sweeten with honey, flavour with a few drops of essence of cloves, or failing this, a few cloves will do; stir the posset over the fire while boiling for six minutes, and drink it quite hot just before going to bed.
