Almond Milk

Blanch and pound four ounces of sweet and six bitter almonds to a paste, adding a few drops of orange-flower water every now and then, to prevent oiling. Add a quart of cold water, and let it stand two or three hours, then strain and bottle for use. A table-spoonful of brandy may be added if liked When wanted, a little of the almond and orange-flower water must be mixed with the milk, and sweetened, and it will be found to be a very refreshing beverage for feverish patients. Time, four hours. Probable cost, 4d. Sufficient for a quart of milk.
