Orangeade

Make a syrup by boiling six ounces of loaf sugar in half a pint of water until the sugar is dissolved. Pour it over the thin yellow rinds of two small oranges, and let them infuse for two or three hours. Strain the juice of six oranges into a glass jug. Add the flavoured syrup, first passing it through a jelly-bag, and a pint and a half of cold water. Let it get cold. A glassful of calf's foot stock is an improvement. Time, two or three hours to infuse the rinds. Probable cost, 8d. Sufficient for two pints and a half.
