When people feel the need Of an acid,
if they would let vinegar alone, and use
lemons or apples, they would feel as
well satisfied and receive no injury. A
suggestion may not come amiss as a
good plan, when lemons are cheap in the
market, as they soon will be, to make
good lemon syrup: Press your hand on
the lemon, and roll it back and forth
briskly on the table, to make it squeeze
more readily; then press the juice into
q bowl-never into tin; strain out all
the seeds, rs they give a bad taste. Re
move all the pulps from the pee!s and
boil it in water-to extract the acid. a
few minutes boiling is enough; then
strain the water with the juice of the
lemons; put pound of white sugar toa
pint Of the Juice; boil ten minutes, bot
tie it, and your lemonade is ready. Put
u tablespoonful or two of this syrup in
glass of water, and you have hcalthful,
cooling drink.
