Lemonade

Lemonade is formed by adding two lemons sliced, and two ounces of white sugar, to a quart of boiling water, and digesting till cold. It is a useful drink for allaying thirst, and as a refrigerant in febrile and inflammatory complaints, and in hæmorrhage, in which cases it should be given iced. Aërated Water (q.v.) flavoured with sugar and essence of lemons is also called lemonade.
