Did you know that invalids sometimes took toast water and calf's heel jelly spiked with wine?
Toast water was a drink served to the weak and sickly in Britain, Australia, and North America during the 19th and 20th centuries. It was made by pouring boiling water over toasted bread, allowing the liquid to cool, and then straining and serving the drink cold. Some recipes suggested adding ingredients such as jelly, wine, or cream.
