Ice Cups

Pack one dozen flat champagne glasses or small tumblers in a tub with pounded ice and salt around them; a little brine at the bottom of the tub is also advisable. Fill these glasses with any fruit syrup, such as raspberry, strawberry, or cherry, cover the tub with a cloth and leave for fifteen to twenty minutes, so that the syrup will be frozen about an eighth of an inch in thickness all round the sides of the glass. Pour out the unfrozen syrup and replace the glasses in the ice for a few minutes longer, in order to thoroughly set the inside of the syrup case; turn these ice cups out carefully and fill the cavity with Curacoa ice cream, nut ice-cream, or any ice of a different color from the cups, and serve.
