of crushed ice Add half cup of cold
coffee pretty strong and freshly made.
Then fill up the glass the rest of the
way with ginger ale, ginger pop
"Anzac", or cider.
This is especially good when served
with thin sandwiches of cheese, cold
tongue or with nuts between graham
bread.
Lemonade For Two
II you want a pitcher of lemonade
and there are only two of you (it is
often so hard to make things just for
twoD put 10 heaping tablespoons of
graduated sugar in to 10 tablespoons
of lemon juice, and into these slice an
orange very thin, then pour in two
even quarts Of ice water. The recipe
may be increased proportionately for
more people.
Iced Tea
Much of the delicious flavor of iced
tea depends on the original blending
of the tea leaves. | like to mix an
ounce of uncolored Japan tea with
half pound Of the best Oolong. The
Japan uncolored tea is of pale,
greenish hue not to be mistaken for
the green tea of China.
In making the tea, never pour on
water that has stood in the kettle.
Put freshly drawn water into the
empty kettle, bring it to brisk boil,
scald an earthenware pot with the
boiling water, then throw out that
water and put into the pot teaspoon
full of the tea leaves for every two
cups you will want, and finally an
extra spoonsful for the pot. Have the
water rapidly boiling and pour in two
cupfuls for each teaspoon of tea leaves
Except the last spoonful Cover it
closely let it stand or minutes
but DO NO BOIL. If the pot is one
you value especially, you may set it in
pan of hot water instead of on the
back of the stove. The tea should be
strained and the tea-leaves thrown
away, not used again. If you are GO
ing to serve it hot, you may use cream
and sugar; but if you are to serve it
cold with lemon Cor hot the same way)
it should be stepped only 3 minutes.
A variety in the iced tea may be
made by putting into the pot, before
making the hot tea, little grated
orange rind, few sprigs of mint, or
if the tea is to be poured in hot, 2
cloves to cup.
Leftover tea may be poured off the
leaves into a glass jar and cooled not
in the ice-box; that wastes the ice
and makes the tea cloudy. Then it is
covered, chilled, and served with sliced
lemon and sugar.
A much better way if you are care
full not to crack your glasses, is to
fill the glass half full of crushed ice,
pour on hot tea, and serve with
powdered sugar and sliced lemon.
Warm Weather Textiles
Perhaps the coolest goods to wear
on scorching day is organdie, be-
cause of its thin crispness. Away back
in the 14th century it was known in
England, and was also made in Swift
erland and France. The Swiss, in fact,
still jealousy guard their secret pro-
cess for making that crisp quality
permanent. Some authorities say this
permanent crispness is produced by
applying combination of albumen
and casein before vigorous calender
ing between hot rollers. Other organ
dies may look as crisp, but the Swiss
is the only one, / believe, that keeps
its special delicate stiffness after
washing. Being imported, and having
gone through the extra processing, il
