Make a rich lemonade, using two lemons to one pint water.
Rub some of the rind with loaf sugar, so as to extract the oil,
say about four lemons to a gallon. Take the whites of eight
eggs beat to an icing, adding pulverized sugar; about two
pounds sugar to a gallon, including the icing, is about the
quantity, but it depends upon the size of the lemons and the
amount of juice they have. A quarter of an ounce of Cox’s
gelatine [sic] dissolved and added is a great improvement.
–Mrs. Charles H. Gibson’s Maryland and Virginia Cook Book. Baltimore: John Murphy & Company, 1894.
