Lemonade. — One and one-half pints of boiling water, the juice of four lemons, the rinds of two, one half-pint of sherry, four eggs, six ounces of loaf-sugar. Pare off the lemon-rind thinly, put it into a jug with the sugar, and pour over the boiling water; let it cool, then strain it; add the wine, lemon-juice and eggs, previously well beaten, and also strained, and the beverage will be ready for use. If thought desirable, the quantity of sherry and water could be lessened, and milk substituted for them. To obtain the flavor of the lemon-rind properly, a few lumps of the sugar should be rubbed over it, until some of the yellow is absorbed. Lemonade. — The rind of two lemons, the juice of three laVge or four small ones, half a pound of loaf-sugar, one quart of boiling water
