Lemonade.

2 lemons, 1 quart water; loaf sugar to taste.

Shave off the yellow rind of the lemon, place the sugar in a jug, put the rind in a strainer, and pour 1 pint of boiling water over it on to the sugar. Squeeze the lemons through a strainer, add to them 1 pint of cold water, then mix all together.
