Iced Tea
Put into a teapot which has been heated with boiling
water four large tablespoonfuls of good tea; pour over it
one and a half pints of perfectly boiling water, and let it
infuse on the side of the stove for three and a half to four
minutes; then pour off the liquid and add for a pint three
ounces of castor sugar, and mix them together while the
tea is hot; then set it aside till cold, and mix with it half
a pint of single cream and half a pint of new milk. Pour
it into the charged freezer; freeze it to the consistency of
a thick batter; then when ready to serve put it into cups
or glasses, filling them about three-parts full. Put on the
top of each about a teaspoonful of frozen cream, prepared
as below, and serve one to each person for ball supper,
afternoon tea, &c.
CREAM FOR ICED TEA.—Mix with one pint of single
cream two and a half ounces of castor sugar and a table-
spoonful of brandy if it is liked; freeze it in the charged
freezer, and use as instructed.
