from Delights for Ladies, 1594:
Blanch your almonds, and beate them as fine as you can with faire water, two or three hours, then strain them through a linen cloth, boil them with rose water, whole mace, and aniseeds, till the substance be thick: spread it upon a faire cloth, dressing the whey from it, after let it hang in the same cloth some houres, then strain it and season it with rosewater and sugar.
