WATER-ICES
Express the juice from any fruit, dilute it with a little water, or leave it pure, make it very sweet with sugar, or, preferably, sugar syrup, and add a very little lemon juice. Freeze the mixture.
Syrup from preserve-jars, diluted to the right degree, makes good water-ice.
Water-ices are difficult to mold, so it is better to serve them in glasses or in individual dishes.
LEMON ICE
1 quart of water
Juice of four large lemons,
Juice of one orange,
2½ cupfuls of sugar.
Boil the sugar and water for ten minutes, then add the fruit juice, strain it, and when it is cold freeze it.
