The 1918 Fanny Farmer Cookbook  
Use recipe for Wine or Russian Jelly. Fill Apollinaris glasses three−fourths full, reserving  
one−fourth of the mixture, which, after cooling, is to be beaten until frothy (using an  
egg−beater)  
and placed on top of jelly in glasses which represents freshly drawn lager beer. This is a most  
attractive way of serving jelly to one who is ill.
