Portable Lemonade

Take loaf sugar 1 lb., rub it down finely in a mortar, and add: citric acid 1-2 oz. (tartaric acid will do,) and lemon essence 1-2 oz., and continue the trituration until all is intimately mixed, and bottle for use; a rounding tablespoonful can be done up in a paper and carried conveniently in the pocket when persons are going into, out-of-the-way places, and added to half pint of water when all the beauties of a lemonade will stand before you waiting to be drank, not costing a penny a glass. This can be made sweeter or more sour if desired. If any however should prefer an effervescing drink they can follow the directions given in the next recipe.
