Cooling Cups and Dainty Drinks by William Terrington (1869, p.198) — Terrington 1869

1 wholeegg yolk base
1 glasssherry modifier
cayenne — cayenne pepperother
  1. Beat the yolk of the egg in the glass of sherry.
  2. Add a very little cayenne pepper and serve.

This is a compact but distinctive example of the book's medicinal-pleasure overlap.

The heat comes from cayenne rather than temperature.
