two ounces of ground bitter almonds into a
saucepan with one quart of water, and let it
simmer for a quarter of an hour ; then add one
pound of loaf sugar, broken small, and when
dissolved strain through a bag or a sieve. When
cold it is ready for use. A tablespoonful of
orange-flower water added is a great improve

a tumbler with a bottle of soda-water is a most
excellent drink.
