About the dish

VIKTIG: Fra kapittelet «Sygeværelse» (sykemat) i «Kogebog for skole og hjem» (1900) av Henriette Schønberg Erken og Caroline Steen. Dette er historiske tekster, IKKE medisinske råd. Æggedrik var en oppkvikkende drikk til syke. Merk at oppskriften bruker rå eggeplomme; det frarådes i dag til gravide, små barn, eldre og personer med svekket immunforsvar.
