In the book "A Sip
Through Time: A Collection of Old Brewing Recipes" (Renfrow), caudles and posset are grouped together (along with the syllabub dessert). Some, but not all of the caudle recipes cited were thickened with eggs, just like some posset recipes are. I will say that all the posset recipes

he writes "William, who normally ate and drank heartily, was nibbling bread and sipping posset, a drink made with milk, beer, eggs and nutmeg, to calm his bilious stomach.". Timed according to
Follett to be between 1170-1174, I don't know how accurate it is, being a fictitious novel, but it might be

I noticed someone added a link to horchata to the end of the article. I see some similarities between posset and horchata, and there is a possible link between the use of grain in both drinks. Nonalchoholic eggnog and horchata are also very similar, since both are cold, milky beverages with sugar

I too thought that eggnog should have its own page. I was surprised to be redirected to "posset," since I'd never heard of that drink, and the initial description seemed entirely different from the cold, sweet and spicy holiday drink that I was looking for. Nevertheless, it does seem as if eggnog

is a derivative of this medieval drink, and might be considered a subcategory of posset. Also, as long as the amount of information on
Knowledge (XXG) about posset and eggnog is so small, two separate articles might not be justified.

at least in this book included either eggs or cream, whereas some caudle recipes looked more like a warm spice wine (ala mulled wine). So it's possible that the "posset" term may have been a bit more standardized. --

and cinnamon. An eggnog recipe without the eggs will taste very similar to horchata, though the nog will lack rice milk and almonds. I wonder if anyone can make a historical link between posset and horchata.

I'm removing that- its POV. I've never had cold Eggnog once in my life (it sounds revolting to me). I'm sure plenty of people do drink it cold, but it hardly qualifies for a "rarely".

In the reference used to justify calling
Heraclitus' drink a "posset", that usage is simply an analogy. See a comment from the host of that podcast, further down on the same page:

I've added some details on both drinks, and I think they're distinct enough that each should have its own page: I don't think I've seen a caudle recipe with milk.
