Quarter of an ounce of Carbonate of Soda.

Quarter of an ounce of ground Ginger.

Six powdered Cloves.

Half a grated Nutmeg.

Quarter of a teaspoonful of ground Cinnamon.

Whisk the eggs and sugar over hot water. Cut the almonds in half and the peel in strips. When the mixture is beaten to a froth, stir in all the dry ingredients lightly.
