Directions

1

Put in three peeled lemons, sliced very thin, and leave in the ice until ready to use it. Add, then, one dozen sprays of green mint and a quart, at least, of pounded ice. Stir well for a minute and pour from a height into it two or three bottles of imported ginger ale. — Miss Katherine Bray.

2

Tea Punch. — For a large crowd. Two gallons of tea and the juice of one dozen lemons; sweeten to taste, and add spray of fresh mint. Serve ice cold from a punch bowl. — Mrs. Dabney.

3

Cranberry Frappe. — Boil two quarts of cranberries in two pints of water ten minutes, strain through a coarse cheese cloth, add two pints of sugar (one and one-half would be enough) and stir and boil until the sugar is dissolved, when cold add the strained juice of ten lemons; freeze to a mush and pack as usual ; serve in sherbet cups with, or just after, roast turkey. — Mrs. J. M. Parker.

4

Cranberry Frappe. — Add one teacupful of boiling water to one quart of cranberries. Boil until soft, pass through a fruit- strainer, return to the fire, and add sufficient sugar to sweeten. Cook until reduced more than half, then set aside to cool. Be- fore freezing add the juice of one large lemon, also a syrup made of one quart of boiling water and two cupfuls of granu- lated sugar cooked until rich and syrupy. Stir all together, and freeze rather stiff. Serve in frappe cups with the roast turkey.

5

Strawberry Frappe. — One quart ripe mashed strawberries, three cups sugar, juice four lemons, three pints water ; let ber- ries with sugar stand one hour ; mix all, pour into freezer and partially freeze.

6

Frappe. — For a very large crowd. Two dozen lemons, three dozen oranges, three cans sliced pineapple, and six quart bot- tles of Apolinaris water. Make a very sweet lemonade, chop oranges and pinapple, and pour lemonade over it; let it stand until ready for use, then pour Apollinaris water in, using a large lump of ice. Flavor with sherry. — Mrs. Bailey Cantrell.
