Lemon Water Ice

Rub the rind of six lemons upon twelve large lumps of sugar, squeeze over them the strained juice, add half a pint of water and a pint of syrup, made by boiling three-quarters of a pound of sugar in three-quarters of a pint of water until the sugar is dissolved. Put all together into a jug, and leave it for an hour or two. Then mix, strain, and freeze in the usual way. Serve in glasses. The ice will be much improved if, when it is beginning to set, the whites of three eggs, beaten to a firm froth, and mixed with six ounces of powdered sugar, are stirred into it. The preparation should be left in the ice until wanted. Sufficient for ten persons.
