½ lb. tapioca, soaked in a cup of cold water four hours.
1 pint rich new milk.
¾ cup of sugar.
2 teaspoonfuls bitter almond or vanilla essence.
A little salt.
Heat the milk, and stir in the soaked tapioca. When it has dissolved,
add the sugar. Boil slowly fifteen minutes, stirring all the time; take
from the fire, and beat until nearly cold. Flavor and pour into a mould
dipped in cold water. Turn out, and pour cold sweetened cream around it.
