Acidulated Alkali

Grate the rind of two lemons upon four ounces of loaf sugar, pound it, and mix it thoroughly with two ounces of bicarbonate of soda and two ounces of tartaric acid. Bottle it, cork it closely, and keep in a dry place. A small tea-spoonful stirred briskly into half a tumblerful of water will make a pleasant draught, and it should be drunk during effervescence. Time to prepare, half an hour. Probable cost for this quantity, 6d.
