# Peppermint Cup

Soak half an ounce of pulverized gum arabic in half a cupful of cold water for 30 minutes. Dissolve it over hot water.

Add one cupful of powdered sugar and cook until it will spin a thread.

Pour this upon the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs, and when well blended add gradually a pint of boiling cream, a few drops of essence of peppermint and a tiny pinch of baking soda.

Serve while it foams, sprinkled with a little powdered cinnamon.
