Put half a pint of cold water in a saucepan, with three ounces of powdered sugar, six cloves, a bay-leaf, and a piece of cinnamon about an inch long. Put the pan on the fire, and let it boil for five minutes ; then dilute an ounce of corn-starch with a gill of cold water ; add it to the contents of the pan, and with a whip stir briskly for two minutes. Add one pint of Chaufausen wine, still stirring for one minute longer, then take from off the fire, strain through a sieve into a sauce-bowl, and serve.
