Take one half
pound of almonds.
Remove the shells and skins, and put them into a large receptacle of
cold
water. Add three bitter almonds to the number.
Remove them
from the water, and pound them up in a bowl, adding from time to time a
little water. Then add more water and put them into a cheese-cloth and
wring it, to extract all the juices you can. Then pound them some more,
adding water, and squeeze out as before.
To the milk you have extracted
from the almonds add four tablespoons of
powdered
sugar and one-half tablespoon of orange water; put into the freezer and
freeze.
If desired,
you can put half
the quantity of almonds and the other half of cantaloup seeds, pound
together,
and proceed in the same manner. This combination is refreshing and
delicious.
