Rub a lump of loaf sugar on the outside of a lemon, and put it into a
pint of thick cream, and sweeten it to taste. Squeeze in the juice of
a lemon, and add a glass of Madeira wine, or French brandy. Mill it
to a froth with a chocolate mill, take off the froth as it rises, and
lay it in a hair sieve. Fill one half of the glass with red wine,
then lay the froth as high as possible, but take care that it is well
drained in the sieve, otherwise it will mix with the wine, and the
syllabub be spoiled.
64. A SOLID SYLLABUB.
To a quart of rich cream put a quart of white wine, the juice of two
lemons, with the rind of one grated, and sweeten it to taste. Whip it
up well and take off the froth as it rises. Put it upon a hair sieve,
and let it stand in a cool place till the next day. Then half fill
the glasses with the scum, and heap up the froth as high as possible.
The bottom will look clear, and it will keep several days.
65. SNOW BALLS.
Pare and take out the cores of five large baking apples, and fill the
holes with orange or quince marmalade. Then take some good hot paste,
roll the apples in it, and make the crust of an equal thickness; put
them in a tin dripping pan, bake them in a moderate oven, and when
taken out, make iceing for them; let the same be a quarter of an inch
thick, and set them a good distance from the fire until they become
hardened, but be cautious that they are not browned.
66. CAPILLAIRE.
Mix six eggs well beat up, with fourteen pounds of loaf sugar,
and three pounds of coarse sugar. Put them into three quarts of
water, boil it twice, skim it well, and add a quarter of a pint of
orange-flower water: strain it through a jelly-bag, and put it into
bottles for use. A spoonful or two of this syrup put into a draught
of either cold or warm water, makes it drink exceedingly pleasant.
