Orange-Flower Macaroons (Delicious)

• pounded sugar, 2 lbs.
• orange-blossoms, 2 oz.
• Whites of eggs,

Have ready two pounds of very dry white sifted sugar. Weigh two ounces of the petals of freshly gathered orange-blossoms after they have been picked from the stems; and cut them very small with a pair of scissors into the sugar, as they will become discoloured if not mixed with it quickly
