Iceland or Irish Moss Jelly. ✠
- 1 handful moss, washed in five waters, and soaked an hour.
- 1 quart boiling water.
- 2 lemons—the juice only.
- 1 glass of wine.
- ¼ teaspoonful cinnamon. (Measure scantily.)
Soak the washed moss in a very little cold water; stir into the boiling, and simmer until it is dissolved. Sweeten, flavor, and strain into moulds. You may use two glasses of cider instead of one of wine for a fever-patient, putting in a little less water.
Good for colds, and very nourishing.
Sea-moss Blanc-mange
Is made in the same way, using boiling milk instead of water, and leaving out the lemons and wine. Flavor with vanilla or rose-water.
Dry Toast.
Pare off the crust from stale light bread; slice half an inch thick and toast quickly. Graham bread is very nice toasted.
Butter lightly if the patient can eat butter.
