Lemon Water Ice

Rub off the peels of six lemons onto one-half pound of loaf sugar, place it in a basin, and strain the juice of the lemons over; with this prepare a syrup, using four or five breakfast cupfuls of water and another pound of sugar. Strain, and then add the whites of four eggs, well-beaten together, with one ounce of powdered sugar. Place it in the freezer, and work as required.
