Spirit of Lemon-Peel

When fresh lemons cannot be procured, mix two ounces of rectified spirits of wine with one drachm of essential oil of lemons. Put the preparation into a small bottle, and keep it closely stoppered till wanted. The flavour of fresh lemon-peel may be imparted to any dish by the addition of three or four drops of this mixture. A few drops of it will also convert a tumblerful of water into lemonade.
