Vanilla Whipped Cream

Boil a little vanilla in a small quantity of milk, strain it, and add the milk to one pint of cream, together with a small quantity of gum tragacanth, a little orange-flower water, and sufficient powdered white sugar to sweeten it. Whip all these together to a froth, and pile it on a glass dish.
