 Fill the tumbler one-third full of ice, and balance with water. Shake well, ornament with berries in season, and serve with straws.

 

Take the rind of eight lemons.

Juice of twelve lemons.

2 pounds of loaf-sugar.

1 gallon of boiling water.

Rub the rinds of the eight lemons on the sugar until they have absorbed all the oil from them, and put it with the remainder of the sugar into a jug; add the lemon juice (but no pips), and pour over the whole the boiling water.

When the sugar is dissolved, strain the lemonade through a piece of muslin, and, when cool, it will be ready for use.

The lemonade will be much improved by having the whites of four eggs beaten up with it.

A larger or smaller quantity of this lemonade may be made by increasing or diminishing the quantity of the ingredients used.

 


 * Take the juice of 1 lemon.
 * ¾ tumblerful of water.
