Soda Cream. When warm weather comes, perhaps the young folks will enjoy this drink. To make the syrup, use the following-named ingredients : one quart of boiling water, one quart of granulated sugar, two ounces of tartaric acid, the white of one egg, one table-spoonful of warm water, four of cold water, and some kind of flavor. Boil the sugar and boiling water together for ten minutes; then set away to cool. When cold, dissolve the tartaric acid in the four table-spoonfuls of cold water, and add to the syrup. Beat the white of the egg with the warm water, being careful to break it thoroughly, yet not to make it light. Add this liquid to the syrup. Stir well, and pour through a fine strainer. Divide this mixture in halves, and add to one part a teaspoonful and a half of vanilla extract, and to the other part a tea- spoonful and a half of lemon extract
