Irish Moss

One ounce of selected Irish moss should be well washed, and then soaked in a quarter of a pint of cold water for three or four hours. Add a pint of cold milk or milk and water, boil for a few minutes, strain through fine muslin, and set aside to cool. IRISH MOSS may be flavoured with cinnamon, sugar, and lemon, or vanilla. It will set a firm jelly. It is much used by invalids suffering from pulmonary complaints.
