Cool Cup, A

Rub five ounces of loaf sugar upon the rind of a large, fresh lemon. Pour over it a bottle of cider, the juice of the lemon, half a nutmeg grated, and a tumblerful of sherry. Stir it until the sugar is dissolved, and put on it a sprig of borage, thyme, or mint. It will be better if placed on ice for a little while. Time, a quarter of an hour. Probable cost, 3d., exclusive of the cider and sherry. Sufficient for a one-quart cup.
