SNOW PUDDING.--Dissolve in one pint of boiling water half a box of good gelatine. When cold add juice of one lemon and small cup of sugar. Strain well and add the well beaten whites of three eggs. Mix well and pour into mould. When ice-cold serve with a custard made of the yolks of eggs and a pint of cream or milk. Sweeten and flavor to taste. ICED BEVERAGES. ICED COFFEE.--One quart of strong coffee, one quart of cream, one and three-fourths of a pint of granulated sugar. Freeze. ICED TEAS are now served to considerable extent during warm weather. They are used without milk, and the addition of sugar serves only to destroy the finer tea flavor. It may be prepared early in the day, taking care to make it stronger than when served hot. Place in refrigerator, and when ready to serve, have crushed ice in the tumblers, which are nicer for the purpose than cups, as the tea looks pretty poured through the ice. LEMONADE.--Juice of half a lemon to each goblet of water. Sweeten to taste and pour over crushed ice. JELLY WATER.--Sour jellies dissolved in water make delicious drinks for fever patients. Best always to boil the jelly in water, then cool. In this way the jelly does not become lumpy. A COOLING DRINK.--Pour three quarts of water on an ounce of cream of tartar. Stir in it the juice of a fresh lemon and the peel cut in very thin strips without a particle of pulp. Sweeten to taste. Let stand till cold and clear. Pour off without disturbing sediment at the bottom. A tumblerful iced is a pleasant and healthful beverage for a warm day. EGG LEMONADE.--White of an egg, juice of one lemon, one tablespoonful sugar, one tumbler of water. Beat well together. Serve cold. GUM ARABIC WATER.--One teaspoonful gum arabic. One tumbler cold water. Allow it to stand long enough to dissolve. Flavor with jelly, lemon, or any fruit syrup. SAGO MILK.--Three tablespoonfuls sago, soaked in a cup of cold water one hour. Add three cups of boiling milk. Sweeten and flavor to suit taste. Simmer slowly half an hour. Eat warm. Tapioca milk is prepared in the same manner. LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS. Fig. Page. 1.
