Directions

1

Make a rich lemonade, using two lemons to one pint water. Rub some of the rind with loaf sugar, so as to extract the oil, say about four lemons to a gallon. Take the whites of eight eggs beat to an icing, adding pulverized sugar; about two pounds sugar to a gallon, including the icing, is about the quantity, but it depends upon the size of the lemons and the amount of juice they have. A quarter of an ounce of Cox's gelatine dissolved and added is a great improvement.
