Utopia Lemonade

Rub the well-washed rinds of eight lemons over cubes of sugar until they have absorbed all the oil from them. Put them with enough more sugar to make two pounds into a large kettle and add the strained juice of one dozen lemons. Pour on one gallon of boiling water, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Then strain through a jelly bag, and serve very cold. The beaten whites of four eggs will improve this lemonade.

Lemonade for 150 People The juice of five dozen lemons, one dozen oranges sliced, and one can of pineapple, or a fresh pineapple grated, and six pounds of sugar. Mix well, and let stand until ready to serve. Then add six gallons of water, and ice. The sugar and some water may be boiled to a syrup, and when cool, added to the fruit and juices.
