Ingredients
- one cup cold water
- two ounces
- one package
Directions
If gelatine be covered with warm water and set in a warm place it will melt in fifteen or twenty minutes, but will develop the strong flavor of glue and spoil whatever it is added to.
A better way is to allow one cup cold water for two ounces (one package) of gelatine and let it soak until perfectly soft. Cox's make will require two hours, Nelson's or Andrews' will be soft in from fifteen to thirty minutes, then add a little boiling liquid stirring till all is dissolved, and the rest of the liquid should be added cold. Gelatine never dissolves in cold water but only absorbs a certain amount. If water is left it can be drained away without taking any goodness from the gelatine.
