Orange Snow

Soak one ounce of gelatine in three gills of cold water for four hours, then add to it the grated rind of half a lemon, the grated rind of an orange, the strained juice of one lemon and four oranges, and eight ounces of powdered white sugar, stir well together, and let the mixture stand for an hour. Add a pint of boiling water and continue stirring till clear; then strain it through a coarse cloth and wring it thoroughly. Beat the whites of four eggs to a stiff froth, and when the liquid is quite cool whisk them into it by degrees, and continue whisking till quite thick and white. Wet the inside of a mould with cold water, and pour the snow into it. Let it stand in a cool place for eight hours at least before turning it out, then pile it up on a glass dish, and garnish it round with sweet biscuits.
