ICES. - .ts
The making of ices is Lot at all difficult.
The main point is to freeze them quickly, so
that they will be smooth and firm when
taken from the freezer. .oz .Ta1ag..
LEMON IcE.-The fayorite, is made by
taking the juice Of six lemons and the grated
peel of three, and the juice and rind of one
large sweet orange. Steep all together one
hour, and then strain and add one pint of
water and one pint of sugar; stir well until
the sugar Is all dissolved. and then freeze.

the operation, and stir up the contents well,

oranges and grated rind of three, and the
juice of two lemons, with the same proper

STRAWBERRY OR RASPBERRY ICE.-The

pint Of sugar and half pint of water and
the Juice OF lemon, makes most satisfac-
tory delicacy. I7 y
COMBINATION loE-One of the most de.
liclous Ices OF all can be made by putting to-
gether tie juice of one quart of red or white
currents and one quart of red raspberries.
To these add one and one-half pints of sugar,
and rather less than pint of water, and
