Preparation :

Remove the shells and skins from the almonds, and place them into a large receptacle of cold water. Add the three bitter almonds and let rest for a minute.

Remove them from the water, and pound them up in a bowl, adding a little water from time to time. Then add more water and put them into a cheese-cloth and wring it, to extract all the juices.

Pound some more, adding water, and squeeze out as before. Add the powdered sugar and orange juice to the juice you have extracted from the almonds. Place into the freezer and freeze.

As a variation, you can use half the quantity of almonds and half cantaloup seeds. Pound together, and follow the same procedure as shown above.
