"Would you, ma'am, he pleased," said Mrs. Bertrand, "to take a glass of ice this warm evening? cream-ice, or water-ice, ma'am? pine-apple or strawberry ice?" As she spoke, Mrs.
There is no more delicious water-ice than this if fine-flavored apricots are used. The canned ones are excellent for the purpose. This ice ought to be the color of apricots; if too pale, add a very little saffron coloring. Currant Water-Ice. A pint of currant juice, a pint of syrup, and the whites of three eggs made into méringue paste. Freeze as usual.
Pineapple Water-Ice. This can be readily made of canned pineapple when the fresh fruit is out of season. Peel a pineapple; grate it into a mortar; then pound it well with six ounces of sugar; let it stand covered for an hour; add the juice of five oranges, and a pint and a half of syrup boiled to the little thread, or
These are exceedingly simple, and no more elegant form of refreshment can be offered than a plate of well-frozen or a tumbler of half-frozen water-ice.

I think he could I believe he might enjoy it."
The inside of the church too strongly recommended by Baedeker to commend itself to me made me feel as if I had eaten a lemon water-ice before dinner, on a freezing cold day; and it was there that the Chauffeulier departed to get ready the motor-car. There it was, too, that the pattern disarranged itself.
Almond Water-Ice. Take one pound of almond paste, a pint and a half of water, and three quarters of a pound of sugar; grate the paste; then stir till quite dissolved. Flavor with vanilla or raspberry; stir in the whites of two eggs and some candied fruits cut up small. Freeze as usual. Cinnamon Water-Ice. This is a German ice, and very much liked by those who are fond of the flavor.
The garçon who says, "I speke Aingliss," brings us each a delicious orange granizada, a sort of half-frozen water-ice, familiar to Italy, but unknown in America. It is ice in the first enthusiasm of freezing, condensed, not hardened. Promoting its liquefaction with the spoon, you enjoy it through the mediation of a straw.
