What does CAUDLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
archaic
A warm spiced drink of thin gruel mixed with wine or ale, once given to sick people and to women after childbirth.
This comforting drink was common in medieval and early modern kitchens, where it was thought to restore strength. Cooks thickened it with oatmeal or eggs and flavoured it with sugar and spice. Visitors to a new mother often brought a bowl of it, and the custom lent its name to the caudle cup, a small two-handled vessel for serving it.
