2 lemons 2 eggs
4 tablespoons sugar 3 cups water
1 cup cracked ice
Break the eggs and beat the whites and yolks separately. Mix the lemons, sugar, water and ice as for lemonade; add the eggs; pour rapidly back and forth from one pitcher to another and serve before the froth disappears.
10 pounds grapes
2 pounds sugar
1 quart water
Wash and stem the grapes; put them in a preserving kettle and crush slightly. Bring to a boil and cook gently for half an hour. Strain though cheesecloth or jelly bag, pressing out all the juice possible; return to the fire with the sugar; cook for fifteen minutes; strain again; reheat and pour into sterilized bottles, thoroughly heated. Put in sterilized corks and dip the neck of the bottle in hot sealing wax.
Raspberry, blackberry and strawberry juice may be made by following the recipe for grape juice but doubling the quantity of sugar. For currant juice use four times as much sugar as for grape juice.
Fruit syrups may be made like fruit juices, only using more sugar - at least half as much sugar as fruit juice.
4 quarts raspberries
1 quart vinegar
Sugar
Put two quarts of raspberries in a bowl and cover them with the vinegar; cover and stand in a cool place for two days. Mash the berries; strain the vinegar through cheesecloth; pour it over two quarts of fresh raspberries; let stand for another two days; strain and put in a preserving kettle with sugar, allowing a pound of sugar to a pint of juice. Heat slowly, skimming when the vinegar begins to boil. Boil twenty minutes and put in sterilized bottles. Serve as a drink, using two tablespoons to a glass of water.
1 cup sugar
1 cup hot tea
1 cup orange juice
1 cup lemon juice 1 quart Apollinaris 1 cup pickled cherries
1 orange sliced
Pour the hot tea on the sugar and when the latter is dissolved add the other ingredients. Serve in a punch bowl with a large block of ice.
Substitute pineapple or strawberry juice for the tea if preferred.
