Required: Half a pint of strong, clear coffee. Half a pint of water. Half an ounce of leaf gelatine.

Six or eight lumps of sugar. Flavoured whipped cream, if possible. (Sufficient for three.)

The coffee must be nice and clear. Put the water, sugar, and gelatine into a clean pan, and stir these over the fire till the sugar dissolves. Then strain it into the coffee, and see that it is sweet enough.

Rinse out a mould with cold water, pour in the jelly, and leave it till set. Then dip the mould into tepid water, and turn the jelly out on a glass dish. If possible, place round it some whipped cream which has been nicely flavoured and coloured a pretty pink. Cost, 6d.
