LEMONADE FOR AN INVALID.
466. Squeeze the juice out of a fine lemon, pour over it as much boiling water as will make it palatable, and add sugar to the taste. Stand it away to cool; when cold it will be found quite as good as that made with cold water, and is generally preferred by physicians, as the boiling water destroys the unhealthy qualities of the lemon.
OAT-MEAL GRUEL.
467. Mix one table spoonful of oat-meal to a smooth paste with a little cold water. Pour this into one pint of boiling water; let it boil for half an hour.
Sweeten it and serve it with toast. Some prefer a little salt.
BAKED PUDDING FOR INVALIDS.
468. One pint of milk,
Three eggs,
Sugar to the taste,
Two table spoonsful of flour.
Beat the eggs, add the sugar, then the flour, and stir in the milk gradually.
Butter a pan, pour in the pudding, and bake it.
