Put a quart of milk into a mixing bowl and stir into it 2 tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoonful of vanilla extract.
Measure 1 tablespoonful from a bottle of liquid rennet, which can generally be bought at a drug store, or any large grocery store.
Add this to the milk, stir it well, and pour the whole into little glasses or into cups or a glass bowl.
Set this in a warm room until the milk has be-come firm, like custard.
Then put it in the ice chest until you are ready to eat it.
In summer do not make it more than 2 hours before you are going to eat it.
It can be served with sugar and cream, or with any cold fruit or chocolate sauce.
This makes enough for 5 people.
