Lemon Soda Nectar

Pour the juice of one lemon into a tall glass, adding one and one half teaspoonfuls of powdered sugar, and then fill the glass three quarters full of ice-cold Seltzer or Apollinaris. Stir thoroughly, add one half teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda, and serve while it is foaming. This mixture is a gentle laxative and is very refreshing before breakfast.

Soda Lemonade No. 1 Mix the juice of one lemon with two tablespoonfuls of sugar. Add three fourths of a cup of cold water, and when thoroughly chilled add one fourth teaspoonful of soda. Stir briskly and serve.

Soda Lemonade No. 2 Mix the juice of one half a lemon with one and one half tablespoonfuls of sugar. When the sugar is dissolved add cracked ice and a bottle of plain soda water.

Soda Lemonade No. 3 To the juice of three lemons add eight lumps of sugar. Stir until thoroughly dissolved, and pour into a pitcher over a piece of ice. Add two ice-cold bottles of club soda. Serve with slices of lemon, and fresh fruit. Sufficient for three people.
