Plombiere's Ice.— Blanch and peel six ounces of Jordan almonds and ten bitter ones. Dry them in a soft cloth, and pound to a smooth paste with a little orange-flower water. Stir this paste into a pint and a half of boiling milk, then press the liquid through a jelly-bag. Mix ten yolks of eggs well beaten with the milk, and stir the custard over a moderate fire until it begins to thicken. Take it off the fire, stir two or three minutes longer

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
