Lemon Snow

Put one ounce of gelatine in a saucepan with a little water, and place it over the fire until it has dissolved, then add one-half pound of sugar and the juice of six lemons. Stir the mixture and boil it for ten minutes, then strain through a jelly-bag into a basin. Whip the whites of four eggs to a stiff froth, and when the jelly is cold and is commencing to thicken, mix them in and whisk until light. Leave the pudding to get cold, garnish with ratafias, and serve.
