Irish Moss is a nourishing, easily digestible strengthener, useful as a bronchial soother and easy digestant for gastritis and similar digestive upset. It is an excellent food for convalescents. It may be boiled in water, milk or soup, and flavored or sweetened to suite your taste.
''As a culinary article it may be employed in the preparation of jellies, white soup, blanc mange, etc. The decoction is prepared as follows: Macerate ½ ounce of carrageen in cold or warm water, during 10 minutes; then boil in 3 pints of water, or milk if stronger nourishment is desired, for a quarter of an hour. Strain through linen. Sugar, lemon-juice, tincture of orange-peel, essence of lemon, or other aromatics, as cinnamon or nutmeg, may be employed as flavoring ingredients.''
