Some Kitchen Kinks: Irish-moss

WHAT AN INVALID MAY DRINK Irish-moss Lemonade. - 2 cupfuls of boiling water; ¼ cupful of Irish moss; cupful of lemon juice; 3 tablespoonfuls of sugar. Soak the Irish moss over night, then pick it over very carefully. It is generally full of sand and all sorts of foreign matter, and can never be made palatable unless it has been through a number of waters. When clean, put it in a double boiler, pour boiling water over it, and let it steep until dissolved. Strain through a square of cheese cloth, then add the lemon juice and sugar. Serve very hot. This is one of the most soothing drinks to give a patient who is suffering from a sore throat or lung trouble.
