Orgeat Ice Cream

Take one ounce of sweet almonds and two or three bitter ones. Blanch and pound them in a mortar with a little orange-flower water to prevent them oiling. Add gradually a quarter of a pound of powdered sugar, the well-beaten yolks of eight eggs, and a pint of cream. Put the mixture into an enamelled saucepan, and stir it without ceasing until it begins to thicken. Pour it out, stir it again until it is cold, then freeze in the usual way. Time, five or six minutes to stir the mixture over the fire. Probable cost, 2s. 6d. Sufficient for a pint and a half of ice cream.
