Lemons in Drinks

When one is forty miles from a lemon, one may still have "lemonade" by using citric acid in crystals or pulverised, with or without a pure lemon tincture as flavouring. No ill effects can accrue from using this acid in such trifling quantity as required to make tart a drink or pudding-sauce. It cannot completely take the place of the fruit juice, but, as it is the acid found in and taken from the fruits of the citrus family, it can be substituted, therefore, if necessary. in moderation without harm.
