1/2 gallon homogenized milk
1 1/3 c. sugar
3 eggs, beaten

Mix well and cook over low heat in heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven. When the mixture begins to curdle on a spoon, remove from fire, add 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Set in snow to cool (this puts the magic in it) and stir occasionally. Keep it (if you can) refrigerated. Good as a hot or cold drink or served in parfait glasses and topped with a dab of whipping cream.
