DRINK FOR THE DQG DAYS
A BOTTLE of soda water poured into a large goblet, in which
a lemon ice has been placed, forms a deliciously cool and
refreshing drink; but should be taken with some care, and
positively avoided whilst you are very hot.
SHERBET
Eight ounces of carbonate of soda, six ounces of tartaric
acid, two pounds of loaf sugar (finely powdered), three
drachms of essence of lemon. Let the powders be very dry.
Mix them intimately, and keep them for use in a wide-
mouthed bottle, closely corked. Put two good-sized tea-
spoonfuls into a tumbler; pour in half a pint of cold water,
stir briskly, and drink off.

LEMON SHERBET
Four lemons sliced, four ounces of lump sugar, one quart of
boiling water. Very fine. A cheaper drink may be made thus:
One ounce of cream of tartar, one ounce tartaric or citric
acid, the juice and peel of two lemons, and half a pound, or
more, of loaf sugar. The sweetening must be regulated ac
cording to taste.
