Imperial Drink

Put half an ounce of cream of tartar into a large jug, which should be well heated first; add the rind of a large lemon, a quarter of a pound of lump sugar, and about three pints of boiling water from the kettle. Cover closely, and let the jug stand near the fire for an hour or so. Stir the liquid occasionally while hot, and when quite cold and clear, pour off from the sediment. This is a cooling and pleasant drink for the summer. Probable cost, 3d.
