Iceland or Irish Moss Jelly. ✠

1 handful moss, washed in five waters, and soaked an hour.

1 quart boiling water.

2 lemons—the juice only.

1 glass of wine.

¼ teaspoonful cinnamon. (Measure scantily.)

Soak the washed moss in a very little cold water; stir into the boiling, and simmer until it is dissolved. Sweeten, flavor, and strain into moulds. You may use two glasses of cider instead of one of wine for a fever-patient, putting in a little less water.

Good for colds, and very nourishing.
