What is the krystallose mentioned in the recipe?

Krystallose is an old trade name for saccharin, an artificial sweetener that was used in place of sugar. Today you can sweeten the tea with sugar, honey or a sweetener to taste.

How is the tea served according to the recipe?

The tea is served sweetened with saccharin and with heavy cream - or with a whisked egg yolk stirred in instead of cream.

Why does this tea appear under "Care and food for the sick"?

In Schonberg Erken's "Stor kokebok" (1914, p. 671), drinks such as tea belonged to the care of the sick. Cream or a whisked egg yolk made the drink more nourishing for a patient with little appetite.
