TEMPERANCE DRINKS

Rub some of the sugar,in lumps,on two of the lemons until they have imbibed all the oil from them,and put it with the remainder of the sugar into a jug; add the lemon juice (but no pits) and pour over the whole a quart of boiling water. When the sugar has 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 white of an egg beaten up with it; a little sherry mixed with it also makes this beverage much nicer.
