  1. Put the milk into a saucepan, with the lemon-peel and sugar; bring it to the boiling-point, drop in the macaroni, and let it gradually swell over a gentle fire, but do not allow the pipes to break.
  2. The form should be entirely preserved; and, though tender, should be firm, and not soft, with no part beginning to melt.
  3. Should the milk dry away before the macaroni is sufficiently swelled, add a little more.
  4. Make a custard by recipe No. 1423.
  5. Place the macaroni on a dish, and pour the custard over the hot macaroni.
  6. Grate over it a little nutmeg, and, when cold, garnish the dish with slices of candied citron.
