  1. Put in a stewpan one pint of new milk, half a pint of single cream, four bayleaves, two blades of mace, ground nutmeg of the weight of one clove, and the very finely-chopped peel of two oranges; bring to the boil; then mix with it one and a half ounces of Brown & Polson’s Corn Flour, that has been stirred till quite smooth with a quarter of a pint of cold milk; stir the mixture till boiling, then wring it through a tammy cloth, and stir it occasionally till cool; then mix with it half a pint of stiffly-whipped cream, a teaspoonful of vanilla essence, a small wineglass of Silver Rays (white) rum, and two ounces of candied citron peel that has been cut up into the tiniest dice shapes, and half an ounce of desiccated cocoanut; freeze the mixture in the charged ice machine till dry, fill some small peach ice moulds with it, close up the moulds, put them in the charged cave for two hours; then dip the moulds into cold water, turn out the ices, and arrange each in small paper cases which have been partly filled with whipped cream that is mixed with crushed ratafia biscuits, in the proportion of one ounce of biscuit crumbs to half a pint of cream; sprinkle over them a few ‘ hundreds and thousands,’ dish up the cases as shown in engraving, and serve.
