Iceland Moss Jelly

This is soothing in colds, coughs, catarrh, and pulmonary affections generally. Put four ounces of Iceland moss in a quart of water, stirring constantly while on the fire. When it has boiled about forty minutes or more, add two ounces of lump sugar and a wineglass full of white wine. Strain through a jelly-bag, and it will be fit for use when cold and firm. A BLANC MANGE may be made by boiling in milk instead of water, omitting the wine, and flavoring with lemon, vanilla or other flavor.
