Measure a quart of boiling water, and set it away to get cold.
Take one-third of a six cent loaf of bread, slice it, pare off the
crust, and toast the crumb nicely of a light brown. Then put it
into the boiled water, set it on hot coals in a covered pan, and
boil it gently, till you find by putting some in a spoon to cool,
that the liquid has become a jelly. Strain it through a thin
cloth, and set it away for use. When it is to be taken, warm a
tea-cupful, sweeten it with sugar, and add a little grated lemon-peel.
