To three pints of new milk put three or four sticks of fresh cinnamon, two blades of mace, one and a quarter pounds of the best raisins, stemmed and stoned. Cover these tightly in the stew-pan and simmer slowly for fifteen minutes. Meanwhile beat very light the yolks of five eggs, adding slowly when light half a pound of pulverized loaf sugar. Make it as light and creamy as possible. When ready strain the milk so as to leave out the spice and raisins, but save the latter as they are to be put in after a while. Stir in the eggs and sugar when the milk boils, beating it until it simmers once. Then remove it from the fire, and when cold stir in one quarter pound of almonds that have been blanched, and pounded in a mortar with a little rose-water, then the raisins that were boiled in the milk, half a pound of the best citron cut into small very thin slices, and if preferred, a small portion of preserved ginger cut thin. Mix all well together, add a quart of rich cream, stir till nicely mixed and freeze as ice cream. A "Turk's Head" makes a very pretty mould for it.
