creamer type serving vessels) and the mug or cup. Approach the Free and ask how heavily sugared and creamed They prefer. Make

cream. Pour the blackwyne into the vessel using yet another spoon to mix the drink. Finish the serve.

(found over the fireplace) with blackwyne ladled from the kettle hanging on a hook within the fireplace. Place on a tray with
