Old Time Remedies

The remedies our ancestors used — or, at least, were told to use! Folk remedies, old wives' tales, mediaeval cures… they're all here.

Sangaree or Porteree

March 13th, 2019

One-third wine or porter mixed with two-thirds cold water. Sweeten, grate nutmeg on the top, and ice.

Serve dry toast with it. Taken hot, it is good for a sudden cold.
