SACK POSSET (WARM SHERRY DRINK)

Sack Posset (warm Sherry Drink) image

This recipe is not for the cholesterol conscious nor if you are sugar intolerant but it is oh so good- Think of it as amedicinal nightcap - Good night Irene. Wonderful on a cold winter night. Because you bring the sherry to a boil most of the alcohol has burned off so it is not a high alcohol drink.
