_Lemonade._ Wash and wipe a lemon. Cut a slice from the middle into
two pieces to be used in the garnish before serving; then squeeze the
juice of the rest of the lemon into a bowl, keeping back the seeds.
Add sugar and boiling water; cover and put on ice to cool; strain and
pour into a glass.
_Fruit Lemonade._ To change and vary the flavor, fresh fruit of all
kinds may be added to strong lemonade, using boiling water as directed
above.
_Egg Lemonade._ Beat an egg thoroughly, add 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar,
2 tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, and gradually pour in one cup of cold
water. Stir until smooth and well mixed. Serve thoroughly cold. This
drink is very easily digested, the lemon having partly digested the
egg; 2 tablespoonfuls of sherry or port may be added.
_Bran Lemonade._ Mix one-quarter cup of wheat bran with 2 cups of cold
water. Allow this to stand overnight and in the morning add the juice
of a lemon.
_Pineapple Lemonade._ Mix one-half cup of grated pineapple with the
juice of 1 lemon and 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar; add one-half cup of
boiling water, put on ice until cool, then add 1 cup of ice-cold
water. Strain and serve.
_Grape Lemonade._ To 1 cup of lemonade, made as directed above, rather
sweet, add one-half cup of grape juice.
_Effervescing Lemonade._ To the juice of 1 large lemon add a lump or
two of sugar which has been rubbed on the rind. Pour on it half a pint
of cold or ice water. Add half a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda
after it has been placed in the tumbler.
_Orangeade._ One orange, 1 teaspoonful of sugar, three-quarters of a
coffee cup of water. Wash and wipe the orange. Squeeze the juice into
the sugar. Add the cold water which has previously been boiled. Strain.
_Apple Water._ Slice 1 pound of apples, put in a jar with one-fourth
of a pound of brown sugar. Pour over apples and sugar 1 gallon of
boiling water. When cool put the apples through a colander. Bottle but
do not cork. Keep in a cool place. May be poured over toasted bread.
_Mixed Fruit Drink._ Mix one-quarter cup of grated pineapple, the juice
of half a lemon, the juice of half an orange, 1 cup of boiling water,
and sugar to taste. Put on the ice until cool. Strain and add more cold
water and sugar according to taste.
_Pineapple Juice._ Pour one-half cup of pineapple juice over crushed
ice and serve in a dainty glass. This is especially helpful in cases
of weak digestion and in some throat troubles—as stated above, the
pineapple aids protein digestion.
_Lemon Whey._ Heat 1 cup of milk in a small saucepan, over hot water,
or in a double boiler. Add 2 tablespoonfuls of lemon juice; cook
without stirring until the whey separates. Strain through cheesecloth
and add two teaspoonfuls of sugar. Serve hot or cold. Garnish with
small pieces of lemon.
_Wine Whey_ may be made in the same way, using one-quarter cup of
sherry wine to 1 cup of hot milk.
