When it is required to incorporate a maximum quantity of lemon oil with the syrup, it should first be whisked into the _whole_ of the thick syrup _cold_; the flavoured syrup should then be carefully heated by means of a steam jacket, or other convenient arrangement, until the suspended oil is reduced to a state of solution. The syrup will then be transparent. Let it be cooled again as quickly as possible. _Gingerade._ Plain Syrup, 42° T.[149] 1 gallon Ginger Tincture (No. 21 or 22) 4 fluid ounces Acetic Acid 4 ” Bitter Orange Tincture, Q.S. Use 1 to 1½ ounce of flavoured syrup to each bottle. Ginger Ale is a beverage supposed to beguile the artless teetotaller into an idea that he is doing something naughty, or at all events, placing himself on the very verge of tampering with the accursed thing “Beer.” Hence its name, but what a difference in the two drinks! Here are two receipts for making _Ginger Ale._ Plain Syrup, 42° T. 1 gallon Comp. Ginger Tincture (No. 23) 4 fluid ounces Acetic Acid 4 ” Sugar Colouring ½ ” Or Plain Syrup, 42° T. 1 gallon Ginger Tincture (No. 21 or 22) 4 fluid ounces Capsicum Tincture (No. 24) 1 ” Sugar Colouring ½ ” Use 1 to 1½ ounce of flavoured syrup to each bottle. If desired, the _bouquet_ may be enriched by the use of one or more of the following ingredients:— Essence of Vanilla 3 drams (180 minims) per gallon Butyric Ether 4 minims ” Otto of Roses ⅓ ” ” Half an ounce of Spanish liquorice to the gallon will considerably improve the flavour. _Lemonade._ Plain Syrup, 42° T. 1 gallon Lemon Tincture (No. 19) 4 fluid ounces Acetic Acid 4 to 5 ” Use 1½ ounce of flavoured syrup to each bottle. When lemonade is required specially for medicinal purposes, and is sold expressly as a genuine fruit preparation, citric acid should be employed instead of acetic. In that case dissolve 1 lb. of citric acid in a pint of boiling water, and use 4 fluid ounces of the clear solution to each gallon of syrup. Some manufacturers have attained a high reputation for their lemonade by adding a small quantity of _Neroli_[150] to the ordinary syrup. This, if judiciously used, will doubtless be deemed an improvement by connoisseurs generally, provided they are kept in ignorance of the substance employed; but a still greater improvement is produced by adding about 1 fluid ounce of good _orange flower water_ to each gallon of syrup. In the next beverage we are perilously tempting the fiend Alcohol, although it ranks as a Temperance drink. _Champagne Cyder._
