CREAM, LEMON (another way) (Peel three lemons and be)

Peel three lemons, and be careful to leave the white pith untouched. Soak the thin rind in a quart of milk, and leave it until the latter is pleasantly flavoured. Then add the yolks of six eggs well beaten, and a pint of water sweetened with a quarter of a pound of sugar. Strain the milk, and simmer it over a gentle fire until it becomes of the consistency of cream, and pour it into jelly-glasses. Time, ten minutes to simmer the cream. Probable cost, 1s. 2d. Sufficient for one dozen and a half glasses.
