Lemonade, Economical

Slice four fresh lemons, and be careful to remove the pips and the thick white skin. Put them, with the rind, into a jug, add a quarter of a pound of loaf sugar, and pour upon them a quart of boiling water. Cover closely, and when the lemonade is cold, it is ready for use. Probable cost, 6d. Sufficient for three pints of lemonade. Or, prepare two lemons as above, and put them into a jug with six ounces of moist sugar and an ounce of cream of tartar. Pour two quarts of boiling water upon them, and let the liquid stand until cold. Time, two hours to infuse. Probable cost, 5d. Sufficient for five pints of lemonade.
