Rice-Water

Put seven pints of water to boil, add to it two ounces of washed rice, two ounces of sugar, and the peel of two-thirds of a lemon; boil gently for three-quarters of an hour; the liquid will reduce to five pints; strain through a colander, and the rice-water will be ready. The rice may be left in the beverage or made into a pudding, or by the addition of a little sugar or jam it will be found very good for either children or invalids.
