ANOTHEE ICE CREAM WITHOUT CREAM.
When cream can not be procured, a custard made aô
directed, îs a good substitute. To a quart of milk, add
sugar until it is very sweet, for in f reezing it loses some
of its sweetness; let this boil on the fire, when it boils
gently, take it ofif and pour it scalding hot to the beaten
yolks of eight eggs ; stir it constantly, but never boil it
as the scalding milk will cook the eggs sufficiently; it
should also be stirred while cooking. Flavor with
vanilla, or lemon or almond✪ Another Ice Cream Without Cream. If with a vanilla beau it
is better to boil it in the milk before putting in the
sugar. When the custard is cold, put it in the form or
freezer. If you hâve no freezer you can make one, by
using a tin kettle with a tight cover. Set this in thé
centre of a tub that is large enough to leave a space of
four or flve inches around it; fiU the space with layers
of cracked ice and coarse sait, a layer of ice last, and
cover the whole with a woolen cover for half an hour.
Then shake the kettle constantly, af ter that, until f rozen:
