1 cup _boiling_ water.
2 heaping teaspoonfuls of best Bermuda arrowroot.
1 teaspoonful lemon juice.
2 teaspoonfuls of white sugar.
Wet the arrowroot in a little cold water, and rub smooth. Then stir
into the hot, which should be on the fire and actually boiling at the
time, with the sugar already melted in it. Stir until clear, boiling
steadily all the while, and add the lemon. Wet a cup in cold water, and
pour in the jelly to form. Eat cold with sugar and cream flavored with
rose-water.
An invaluable preparation in cases where wine is forbidden.
