Today's topic will be beverages...

Lemonade (1).

Six large lemons and one pound loaf sugar. Rub the sugar over the rinds to get out the flavor, then squeeze out all the juice on the sugar; cut what remains of the lemons into slices, and pour on them a quart of boiling water; when this has cooled, strain it on to the juice and sugar, and add as much more water (cold) as will make it palatable.
