Cream Sherbet

Thoroughly beat one ounce of caster-sugar into one pint of cream and the whites of six eggs previously beaten to a stiff froth. Dissolve one more ounce of caster-sugar in three quarts of water and pour this upon four lemons sliced thin; mix thoroughly with the other, strain, and put it into a freezer until ready for serving.
